Queer Noise

Queer Noise - The Hidden History of Manchester's Gay Music Culture

Queer Noise is an online exhibition hosted by Manchester District Music Archive that explores LGBT music and club culture in Greater Manchester.

The exhibition contains scores of artefacts from 1962 to the present

day, including oral histories, videos, streamed mp3s, press articles,

posters, flyers and photos, all displayed in an interactive gallery and

timeline.

It touches on Canal Street culture, the James Anderton years, the early 90s house music explosion, alternative clubbing, and of course, the music of Manchester heroes such as Pete Shelley and Morrissey.

There is an introduction and exclusive essay by Jon Savage.

Queer Noise is an open exhibition that anyone can contribute to, so if you have any artefacts that you would like to add or a story to tell, 

please email info@mdmarchive.co.uk. We want this exhibition to get bigger and bigger!
