Memories from the 90s clubbing scene might be a little hazy, but academics are calling on veteran ravers to recall their Madchester years for an exciting new project.

The Lapsed Clubber Heritage Map project, spearheaded by Manchester Metropolitan University academic Dr Beate Peter, seeks to tell the real clubbing story and dispel popular misconceptions about the rave scene.

Dr Peter says: “We are all familiar with the Hacienda and terms like Acid House and Madchester, but little is known about the people on the dancefloors as they had no platform to share their experiences at the time."

In order to collate these tales, Dr Peter is creating an interactive map of the Manchester clubbing landscape, where clubbers will be able to write text or record audio clips reminiscing about the music, fashion, clubs, bars, and friendships, pinned to locations around Manchester.

It's free to contribute and the first of three interactive events takes place on Saturday June 10, booking via Eventbrite is required to secure a place .

In addition to mapping out Manchester’s rave culture between 1985 and 1995, the event at 70 Oxford Street will host a panel dabate with leading music experts with a soundtrack from some of Manchester's best DJs.

The final interactive map will be launched during next year’s Manchester Histories Festival.

Richard Fowler, an ex-Manchester raver who is involved with the project says: “Rave culture has gone off the radar. If you watch nostalgic documentaries about the Nineties it gets a mention, but what comes up doesn't reflect the scene as many of us knew it.

"Most of the venues have gone, but the legacy of club culture has been instrumental in transforming modern Manchester.

“It’s a really important heritage for us as a community. If our memories are not recorded then they could just disappear.”
