This first academic collection dedicated to popular music in
Leeds -Â developed from the work of interdisciplinary
scholars, drawn from a major public museum exhibition
“Sounds of Our City” and built upon contemporary
research. Leeds has rich musical histories and heritage, a
long tradition of vibrant music venues, nightclubs, dance
halls, pubs and other sites of musical entertainment. The
city has spawned crooners, folk singers, punks,
post-Â punks, Goths, DJs, popstars, rappers and
indie rockers, yet – with a few exceptions - Leeds
has not been studied for its scenes in ways that other UK
cities have. In ways that the chapters explore, Leeds’
popular music exemplifies and informs understandings of
broader cultural and urban changes – both in Britain and
across wider global contexts – of the social and historical
significance of music as mass media; music and
migration;Â music, racialisation and social equity;
industrial decline, de-industrialisation, neoliberalism and
the rise of the 24-hour city. Charting moments of
stark musical politicisation and de-politicisation,
while concomitantly tracing arguments
about “heritagising” popular music within
discussions about music’s “place” in museums and in
the urban economy, this book contributes to
debates about why music matters, has mattered,
and continues to matter in Leeds, and beyond. Â
