On Thursday 29^th March Mods, Rockers, Hippies and Punks are invited to the Horsefair to celebrate musical memories of the 60s, 70s and 80s.

The event at the Centre, running from 10am to 3pm, will be playing classic singles and providing clothes and accessories from the eras to dress up in, whilst sharing memories and stories of the music scene from Wisbech in years gone by.

Talkin Bout My Generation is a Heritage Lottery Fund project ran by Hilary Cox Condron and pop culture archivist, Jess Johnston. Hilary and Jess will be at the Horsefair Shopping Centre, at the side of Boots, gathering memories and stories of the music scene in Wisbech.

Project co-ordinator, Hilary, said: “Talkin Bout My Generation wants YOUR stories! Come along to the Horsefair on the 29^th, and be prepared to have your memories tickled, spin a few singles in our retro music booths, dress up in the clothes and accessories of the era, share photos and stories and even go back to the day with some classic scents and tastes. Old Spice and Spacedust, anyone?! From buying your first record at Clarke’s to gigs at the Corn Exchange and playing in local bands – we would love to hear your stories and see your photos.”

The rediscovered musical heritage will be publicly shared on the CCAN (Cambridgeshire Community Archive Network) website www.mygeneration.ccan.co.uk and an exhibition, film and publication will share the project’s findings.

This Heritage Lottery Fund project was inspired by, and is the result of, the partnerships developed through MarketPlace, which is a Creative People and Places arts engagement programme for Fenland and Forest Heath, for which Babylon ARTS is the lead Consortium partner.
