The History of Live Music in Britain, Volume II, 1968-1984 (eBook, PDF)

From Hyde Park to the Hacienda

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

There has been a significant gap in existing knowledge about 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, focussed upon popular music but including all musical genres. The second volume covers the period from Hyde Park to the Hacienda (1968-1984).
