'Learning to DJ has awakened my brain after injury'

Two friends who suffered life-changing brain injuries say learning to DJ has helped with their rehabilitation. David Wilson, 38, who was stabbed in an unprovoked attack in 2005, and Ashleigh Crowley, 35, who was in a serious car accident in 2007, have been mentored by Wiltshire DJ Emma Ryalls. Mr Wilson, who is also a drum and bass MC, said the lessons had "significantly" awakened his brain. The pair will perform their skills in their first showcase event in Salisbury on Friday evening.
