Focus
Looks at how black music, venues and promoters get squeezed out as night-time economies are ‘cleaned up’ for regeneration and licensing politics.
My take
The bit that hurts is how familiar it still feels – you can map half the stories onto who gets to put on nights in Manchester now, and who mysteriously keeps hitting licensing friction.
