Rhythms of Labour - Music at Work in Britain (Hardcover, New)

Whether for weavers at the handloom, labourers at the plough, or
factory workers on the assembly line, music has often been a key
texture in people's working lives. This book is the first to
explore the rich history of music at work in Britain and charts the
journey from the singing cultures of pre-industrial occupations, to
the impact and uses of the factory radio, via the silencing effect
of industrialisation. The first part of the book discusses how
widespread cultures of singing at work were in pre-industrial
manual occupations. The second and third parts of the book show how
musical silence reigned with industrialisation, until the carefully
controlled introduction of Music While You Work in the 1940s.
Continuing the analysis to the present day, Rhythms of Labour
explains how workers have clung to and reclaimed popular music on
the radio in desperate and creative ways.
