After discovering a derelict record plant on the edge of a northern
English city, and hearing that it was once visited by David Bowie,
Karl Whitney embarks upon a journey to explore the industrial
cities of British pop music. Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle,
Leeds, Sheffield, Hull, Glasgow, Belfast, Birmingham, Coventry,
Bristol: at various points in the past these cities have all had
distinctive and highly identifiable sounds. But how did this
happen? What circumstances enabled those sounds to emerge? How did
each particular city - its history, its physical form, its accent -
influence its music? How were these cities and their music
different from each other? And what did they have in common? Hit
Factories tells the story of British pop through the cities that
shaped it, tracking down the places where music was performed,
recorded and sold, and the people - the performers, entrepreneurs,
songwriters, producers and fans - who made it all happen. From the
venues and recording studios that occupied disused cinemas,
churches and abandoned factories to the terraced houses and back
rooms of pubs where bands first rehearsed, the terrain of British
pop can be retraced with a map in hand and a head filled with music
and its many myths.
