Old enough to be in a museum

Cardiff's S?n Music Festival turns 10 this year and is working with Cardiff University to research the festival experience. As part of this project, the research team will create a pop-up S?n Music Museum in the Castle Arcade in the city centre during the festival (Oct 21-23). The S?n Music Museum invites local gig-goers, venues, music buffs and well-known names to contribute their own pieces of musical history and explore the 10 years of the festival, and the changes and developments of its place in the city. 'This is an exciting opportunity for the University to work with a festival community and talk about music memories as we celebrate the 10th anniversary of S'n." - Dr Johann Gregory, co-ordinator of the Creative Cardiff Research Network at Cardiff University, said: "As the festival landscape grows and grows, the research project, which runs in tandem with the Museum, will offer fresh insights into the ecology of festivals and their cultural value." Dr Jacqui Mulville, leader of the Festivals Research Group in the School of History, Archaeology and Religion and the S?n Music Museum lead curator added: "Music is woven into the fabric of our lives. Our lifetime relationship with music exists in our homes as memorabilia - LPs, posters, t-shirts, tickets, clothing, and more.
