About Black History Month Talk: Diaspora Discs

Listed Under Talks and Lectures Events / History Events

From the 1970s to the 1990s, Glasgow had scores of record shops, but few specialised in African, Asian or Caribbean music. This talk will highlight the ones that did and celebrate how they often helped galvanise their communities and beyond, promoting concerts, events and more. It will also appeal for your memories of key contributors still to be acknowledged.

This event is free to attend, but ticketed.
