Showbands of the North West
Our ‘Showbands of the North-West’ Exhibition was created in 2018 and has proved very popular as a travelling exhibition ever since.
Now, in conjunction with the Mayor’s First Online Tea Dance, we have made this exhibition available online. This exhibition was created by Johnny Murray in partnership with DCSDC Museum and Heritage Services.
Check out the video and links below to take a trip down Memory Lane!
