I have begun to generate some ideas for the project, the first and currently only one in the format of a mind map, as I am a bit stuck on what to do at the moment. I know I want to take a musical approach to it, but focus on a topic that I know a little about, but still something I could take a deep dive into as well. I also have to make sure it is something that not everyone will know about, so I can basically give them a lesson on the subject. Below is the mind map that I created to generate my first initial idea.

I'm quite happy with this idea, but with it being my first and only idea so far I will of course expand and explore other ideas I could focus on within the same realm. With this idea, I was also struggling to come up with a unique question I could ask, but still with the probability of not sticking with this idea, that's not my priority at the moment.
I have actually decided to stick with my above idea and focus on music venues but more with a focus on those in Nottingham, and potentially expanding out in wider issues related to the impact on the UK's music venues especially in recent years. I believe that with some assistance too as I was struggling to come up with a question, I have thought of one for the project: Are Nottingham's music venues under threat?

Alongside this, I also decided to begin to make a list of some music venues and organisations that I could investigate and potentially interview to support my question. I still want to keep the focus on independent and grassroots music venues, so researched some that I could put some further investigation into.
