I’m so pleased to join the upcoming panel discussion Second Cities: Culture Beyond the Capital at SXSW 2025, happening March 10 at 2:30 PM. I’ll be joining Mat Bancroft from the University of Manchester; Kirsty Fairclough from the School of Digital Arts; and Steve Ray from the Texas Music Office to talk pop music archives and exhibition, scholarship and support. This conversation highlights the British Pop Archive within the University of Manchester Library’s Special Collections. Programming also features wide-ranging discussions, installations, and interactive events focused on education, technology, and culture in in the UK. The event takes place at UK House, and it’s open to SXSW badge holders. Hope to see you there!
