Tuesday 6th. Dave Haslam lecture.

A local DJ, expressed the importance of small scale, marginal creativity in relation to the music scene in Manchester. Having worked in the town for many years , he continued to recall the rise of the band Joy division, that in his opinion came from the margins, and went on to influence the music industry massively. He Stated 'cultural significance is not how many people know about an idea, but what affect it has on culture, challenging us to define the alternative, and to question everything. He gave a interesting insight into the history of Manchester's' music industry from an acute angle, and asked us to evade the mainstream when considering our creativity in developing ideas.
