A project to explore 50 years of Leicester's nightlife has been awarded a £10,000 grant by Historic England. The project, by not-for-profit social enterprise 2Funky Arts, will focus on music of black origin, including hip-hop, soul, reggae and jazz. The focus will be around clubs such as Il Rondo, The Spectrum and many others that had come and gone, where the music and culture was strongly influenced by working class people, particularly those with black, African and Caribbean heritage.
