The social history of music in Britain since 1950 has long been the
subject of nostalgic articles in newspapers and magazines,
nostalgic programmes on radio and television and collective
memories on music websites, but to date there has been no proper
scholarly study. The three volumes of The History of Live Music in
Britain address this gap, and do so from the unique perspective of
the music promoter: the key theme is the changing nature of the
live music industry. The books are focused upon popular music but
cover all musical genres and the authors offer new insights into a
variety of issues, including changes in musical fashions and
tastes; the impact of developing technologies; the balance of power
between live and recorded music businesses; the role of the state
as regulator and promoter; the effects of demographic and other
social changes on music culture; and the continuing importance of
do-it-yourself enthusiasts. Drawing on archival research, a wide
range of academic and non-academic secondary sources, participant
observation and industry interviews, the books are likely to become
landmark works within Popular Music Studies and broader cultural
history.
