This project concerns the heritage significance of grassroots music venues. The project builds on previous research into cultural heritage and popular music to which SCHOFIELD has contributed, examining how popular music as a democratic practice is validated as heritage through its relationship with memory and history. This project will make an original contribution by: 1) focusing on live music venues and gig-going; while 2) assessing the vitality and importance of local music scenes in terms of heritage production, place attachment and identity. This innovative collaboration combines SCHOFIELD's research in heritage studies with SCHOFIELD and SHERRINGTON's shared experiences of live music and its contribution to community, place attachment and identity, including digital identity. It also extends the definition of heritage to incorporate both non-traditional (sub)cultural heritage communities and the night-time economy while building on DeNora's (2000) study of the propensity of music both to link individuals with their past and to emotionally ground them in the present. The project comes at a time when GMVs are under increased threat, partly due to COVID-19 but also due to development threats, increased commercial rents and reduced sector funding. Yet they remain hugely popular. In 2018, 25 million people attended concerts across the UK's 650+ GMVs and other concert sites, while in 2019 the UK music industry contributed £5.8 billion to the UK economy, up 11% from 2018. Live events are important for performers but also to audiences for whom the venues are vital social spaces. The recent periods of lockdown provide a unique opportunity to examine and model the cultural impacts of their closures on local communities while also challenging negative assumptions about venues and gig going. The project poses four key research questions:1. In what ways do GMVs contribute to the heritage and identity of the places in which they are located and those people (performers, promoters, gig goers) whose identities (including digital identities) are often forged within them? 2. What distinct contributions can a critical heritage perspective make to understanding the cultural significance of local music scenes, including their venues?3. In what ways might collaboration between cultural spaces enhance their significance, impact and longevity?4. To what extent might a venue's cultural significance shape its models of practice and community engagement strategy; and ultimately influence policy?To address these questions, the project will focus on three Yorkshire towns that each have a strong music tradition in spite of their comparatively small size: Holmfirth, Hebden Bridge and York. Built around these case studies, and on the foundations of previous research (e.g. Frith's History of Live Music in Britain, Finnegan's The Hidden Musicians and the AHRC Cultural Values project), the project will conduct surveys and interviews with audiences, performers, promoters, networks and collectives, to gather qualitative data on the cultural significance of venues and gig-going including engagement with policy issues before, during and after a time of pandemic.

本项目关注草根音乐场所的遗产意义。该项目建立在斯科菲尔德之前对文化遗产和流行音乐的研究基础上，研究流行音乐作为一种民主实践如何通过其与记忆和历史的关系被证实为遗产。本项目将通过以下方式做出原创性贡献：1)专注于现场音乐场地和演出；2)从遗产生产、地方依恋和身份等方面评估当地音乐场景的活力和重要性。这一创新合作将斯科菲尔德在遗产研究方面的研究与斯科菲尔德和谢林顿在现场音乐方面的共同经验及其对社区、地方依恋和身份（包括数字身份）的贡献结合起来。它还扩展了遗产的定义，将非传统（亚）文化遗产社区和夜间经济纳入其中，同时建立在DeNora（2000）对音乐倾向的研究之上，该倾向既将个人与他们的过去联系起来，又将他们的情感根植于现在。该项目推出之际，gmv正面临越来越大的威胁，部分原因是新冠肺炎疫情，但也包括开发威胁、商业租金上涨和行业资金减少。然而，它们仍然非常受欢迎。2018年，有2500万人在英国650多家gmv和其他音乐会网站上观看音乐会，而2019年，英国音乐产业为英国经济贡献了58亿英镑，比2018年增长了11%。现场活动不仅对表演者很重要，而且对观众也很重要，因为场地是他们至关重要的社交空间。最近的封锁期为研究和模拟关闭对当地社区的文化影响提供了一个独特的机会，同时也挑战了对场地和演出的负面假设。该项目提出了四个关键的研究问题：1。gmv在哪些方面对他们所在的地方以及那些身份（包括数字身份）经常在其中被伪造的人（表演者、发起人、演出观众）的遗产和身份做出了贡献？2. 批判性遗产视角对理解当地音乐场景及其场地的文化意义有何独特贡献？文化空间之间的合作如何提高其重要性、影响力和寿命？一个场所的文化意义在多大程度上塑造了它的实践模式和社区参与战略；并最终影响政策？为了解决这些问题，该项目将重点关注约克郡的三个城镇，尽管它们的规模相对较小，但每个城镇都有很强的音乐传统：Holmfirth， Hebden Bridge和York。在这些案例研究的基础上，在之前的研究（如弗里思的《英国现场音乐史》、芬尼根的《隐藏的音乐家》和AHRC文化价值项目）的基础上，该项目将对观众、表演者、推广者、网络和集体进行调查和访谈，以收集关于场地和演出的文化意义的定性数据，包括在流行病之前、期间和之后参与政策问题。
