To date, there has been a significant gap in work on the social
history of music in Britain from 1950 to the present day. The three
volumes of Live Music in Britain address this gap and do so through
a unique prism-that of live music. The key theme of the books is
the changing nature of the live music industry in the UK, focused
upon popular music but including all musical genres. Via this
focus, the books offer new insights into a number of other areas,
including the relationship between commercial and public funding of
music, changing musical fashions and tastes, the impact of changing
technologies, the changing balance of power within the music
industries, the role of the state in regulating and promoting
various musical activities within an increasingly globalised music
economy, and the effects of demographic and other social changes on
music culture. Drawing on new archival research, a wide range of
academic and non-academic secondary sources, participant
observation and a series of interviews with key personnel, the
books have the potential to become landmark works within Popular
Music Studies and broader cultural history. The second volume
covers the period from Hyde Park to the Hacienda (1968-84).
