Both will form part of a wider on-going musical heritage project celebrating the variety and scope of Salford's musical landscape.
This period 1950 to today has seem an amazing range of musical styles that have been reflected by Salford musicians and we will covering a huge range of muscial tastes from Ewan McColl, the folk icon to the Ting Tings, reported to be the next big thing! But what about you, what do you want us to include?
