For one
night only, the spirit of The Jac is back
The Jacaranda: Beyond the Music will be
coming to Liverpool in April
Two final year Music Journalism students from the University
of Huddersfield have decided to celebrate The Jacaranda’s rich history. The iconic
music venue was opened in 1958 by Allan Williams serving the function of a
coffee bar. It unexpectedly closed in November 2011 to the dismay of many who
classed the Jac as their regular haunt.
“We’re delighted to be working on this,” says Chynna Sampson,
one of the event organisers. “We’re both
passionate about music and this felt like something quite natural to do as
we’ve both spent a lot of time in Liverpool, so it’s a venue we’re interested
in learning more about.”
Chynna Sampson and Natalie Longworth, decided to do this for
their practical project which forms part of their Music Journalism degree. Do
you have any memories of The Jacaranda that you’d like to share? Chynna and
Natalie urge those who visited The Jac and have a story to tell to contribute
to their exhibition. If you’re willing
to speak about your experiences please come forward and interact via email, Twitter
or by posting on The Jacaranda: Beyond the Music’s Facebook wall.
Natalie Longworth said: “We’re looking to get as many people
as possible involved. If you have any images, stories or memorabilia that you’d
like to share with us, then we want to hear from you.”
