Moss Side Stories

The past doesn’t become history until it’s remembered.

The Moss Side and Hulme areas of Manchester were for a time not only the musical heartbeat of a city but of a new idea of the nation.

In this brilliant collection, featuring short stories, a play and interviews with DJs and club goers, the past becomes history. The music, the people and the community are remembered.

Due out in October, PDF featuring 3 of the stories, the first act of the play and 2 of the interviews free to download now. Simply click on the image below.

Celebrating the Clubs of Moss Side and Hulme from the 50s to the 80s

Commonword and The People’s History Museum are celebrating the Moss Side and Hulme nightclubs of the 50s to the 80s by holding an exhibition and launch event. Find out about the memories and stories of the clubs and the role they played in building and sustaining the communities of Moss Side and Hulme.

We have interviewed many of the original club-goers, their families, friends and associates and found glorious stories and remarkable insights into the exciting, nurturing roles these clubs had in community life.
