Artists Rob St John and Diane Muldowney have gathered 100 stories about nightlife in Nelson.1/10/2026
These stories come from the 1950s to the present day. They've been housed in a jukebox, alongside an exhibition of photography and films, which will be on display for everyone to experience in Nelson Town Centre.
The recordings were gathered across 2025 and 2026 by Rob St John, with Diane Muldowney and Michael Powell. Fourteen were never collected at all: people had taped themselves, or left a VHS camera running on a last night of a club, and their recordings had sat in a drawer for years. A restored 1970s jukebox holding 100 stories about nightlife in Nelson, from the 1950s to the present day made by artists Rob St John, Tommy Perman and Michael Shorter.
A photographic and audio project by artist Diane Muldowney that has captured the stories, memories and nightlife of the town through the people who experienced it. From 18th to 20th September, venues across Pendle will come alive with creativity, music, workshops, performances and opportunities for young people to share their voices.
This inspiring festival celebrates young talent, creativity and community, bringing people together through a fantastic programme of events and shared experiences. |
