DESCRIPTION:In Conversation\, the Manchester Urban Ageing Research Group 
 (MUARG) and the Morgan Centre present:\n\nUrban ageing and inclusivity i
 n Manchester’s rave scene\n\nLed by Helen Holmes from the University of 
 Manchester\, with MUARG's James Fletcher as chair. Holmes' talk draws on
  research with older clubbers about Manchester’s rave heritage (Holmes e
 t al.\, 2023). Through 15 in-depth interviews with music professionals a
 nd ravers who were involved in rave’s nineties heyday and still are invo
 lved now\, we reveal the continued significance of rave as a music world
  (Crossley\, 2015). In particular\, we focus on how the landscape of rav
 e has changed\, becoming more accommodating for the older clubber’s body
  and lifestyle.\n\nThe late-night clubs and early morning illegal wareho
 use parties of the nineties have been replaced with one off events and f
 estivals\, often taking place during the day\, and finishing at ‘respect
 able times’. Despite these significant changes we illustrate how rave is
  still viewed in the main as an inclusive\, collective scene\, drawing t
 ogether ‘clubbing families’ who have partied together for decades. Howev
 er\, we also illuminate tensions within the contemporary rave scene and 
 particularly around rave as a form of heritage to be branded and capital
 ised upon. We discuss authentic versus commercial rave and how these dif
 ferences play out for older clubbers and how they are inherently connect
 ed to the urban history of Manchester.\n\nThis is a hybrid event\, both 
 in person and online. Please visit the Eventbrite page to register your
