Oxford’s grassroots music scene in the 90s – which gave birth to bands such as Ride, Supergrass, and Radiohead – is being celebrated in a new exhibition.
Sounds of the City at the Museum of Oxford features objects, memorabilia, and stories marking key milestones and events.
It includes Mick Quinn’s bass guitar, used on the recordings of the early Supergrass albums, and a Radiohead guitar set on fire in the video for their Anyone Can Play Guitar single.
Beth Jones, community engagement and exhibitions officer at the museum, said: “We realised that the 90s were something so many local people related to and wanted to speak about and share memories of.”
She added: “So many people have got their own items and flyers and things under their beds that they wanted to share, and it just seemed like the kind of perfect focus point to bring all of that together.”
