This research project focuses on contemporary juvenile jazz marching bands in the North East of England and South Wales and similar forms of working class cultural production elsewhere in Europe. Led by Dr Frances Thirlway, the project considers how working class cultral production is formed, expressed and the extent to which it is hidden from the cultrual mainstream. Following this research, in 2018, five museums and eleven universities took part in a symposium exploring historical and contemporary popular street parade.
