Free exhibition celebrates seven decades of Sheffield music at Memory Dance

A free exhibition at Memory Dance in Sheffield traces seven decades of the city’s independent music, bringing photographs, films, flyers and other archival material together. It gives dance and club culture space alongside better-known bands, showing how venues, labels and institutions helped shape Sheffield’s musical identity.

Created with journalist Daniel Dylan Wray, the exhibition draws on material related to artists including Pulp, The Human League, Warp, Self Esteem and Arctic Monkeys. It also features an audiovisual tribute to Cabaret Voltaire, with films and music videos changing weekly. The exhibition runs until 4 November at 21 Chapel Walk, and entry is free.
