Music is a mobile art. When people move to faraway places, whether by choice or by force, they bring their music along. Music creates a meaningful point of contact for individuals and for groups; it can encourage curiosity and foster understanding; and it can preserve a sense of identity and comfort in an unfamiliar or hostile environment. As music crosses cultural, linguistic, and political boundaries, it continually changes. While human mobility and mediation have always shaped music-making, our current era of digital connectedness introduces new creative opportunities and inspiration even as it extends concerns about issues such as copyright infringement and cultural appropriation. With its innovative multimodal approach, Music on the Move invites readers to listen and engage with many different types of music as they read. The text introduces a variety of concepts related to music’s travels—with or without its makers—including colonialism, migration, diaspora, mediation, propaganda, copyright, and hybridity. The case studies represent a variety of musical genres and styles, Western and non-Western, concert music, traditional music, and popular music. Highly accessible, jargon-free, and media-rich, Music on the Move is suitable for students as well as general-interest readers.

DIY House Shows and Music Venues in the US is an interdisciplinary study of house concerts and other types of DIY ("do- it- yourself") music venues and events in the United States, such as warehouses, all- ages clubs, and guerrilla shows, with its primary focus on West Coast American DIY locales. It approaches the subject not only through a cultural analysis of sound and discourse, as it is common in popular music studies, but primarily through an ethnographic examination of place, space, and community. Focusing on DIY houses, music venues, social spaces, and local and translocal cultural geographies, the author examines how American DIY communities constitute themselves in relation to their social and spatial environment. The ethnographic approach shows the inner workings of American DIY culture, and how the particular people within particular places strive to achieve a social ideal of an "intimate" community. This research contributes to the sparse range of Western popular music studies (especially regarding rock, punk, and experimental music) that approach their subject matter through a participatory ethnographic research.

Following the success of my previous book, which dealt with the pop show Thank Your Lucky Stars, I have now decided to look at the music shows that appeared on A.B.C. Weekend Television. A.B.C. Weekend Television catered for viewers in the Midland and the North for thirteen glorious years from 1956 to 1968. The format will be similar to my previous work. I shall take a chronological view with mini biographies where appropriate, trivia, interesting facts, pictures and opinions (both my own and from the contemporary public.) I shall not be looking at the previous company that was called A.B.C. that morphed into A.T.V. Television. Nor will I be looking at music shows shown on A.B.C. but not directly produced by them. Therefore shows such as Sunday Night At The London Palladium and The Jack Jackson Show will not be featured, as they merit a book in their own right. If a weekend is absent from the diary, it probably means A.B.C. was concentrating on sports that particular weekend. In the 60’s sports such as tennis, rugby league and motor racing had a high profile. Sadly most of the shows mentioned here are not preserved in the archives. Television was considered an ephemeral pleasure back then. Preserving a show was in many cases impossible or too expensive. The powerful music unions discouraged repeat showings and many shows went out live and there was no need to record them. Tapes were reused on a regular basis, with shows being wiped forever within a few weeks of transmission. Mercifully a handful of Oh Boys! survive, along with a snippet of Cliff in the anniversary show The ABC of ABC. A George Formby section from a 1957 Top Of The Bill has popped up on YouTube. A Chas McDevitt clip, featuring a very young Jean Marsh opening a door, may very well come from the same show. British Pathe News have lovely features on Ship Canal Showboat, showing the likes of Thora Hird rehearsing in Manchester in 1956, as well as a feature on Holiday Town Parade. A few Sunday Breaks exist. Sadly I could find nothing from programmes such as Bid For Fame, Top Numbers, After Hours and many more great shows. Writing this book really struck me how viewing habits have changed over the decades. Television was on just two channels. Daytime shows were rare and television ended before midnight. Televisions were expensive. Shows tended to be on at exactly the same time each week to build up audience figures. But some things never change. Even back then some people moaned at the quality of the shows and were fed up of seeing the same stars week in week out. Hopefully you will gain more pleasure reading the book than those killjoys.

This collection initiates a resolutely interdisciplinary research dynamic specifically concerning musical creativity. Creativity is one of the most challenging issues currently facing scientific psychology and its study has been relatively rare in the cognitive sciences, especially in artificial intelligence. This book will address the need for a coherent and thorough exploration. Musical Creativity: Multidisciplinary Research in Theory and Practice comprises seven sections, each viewing musical creativity from a different scientific vantage point, from the philosophy of computer modelling, through music education, interpretation, neuroscience, and music therapy, to experimental psychology. Each section contains discussions by eminent international specialists of the issues raised, and the book concludes with a postlude discussing how we can understand creativity in the work of eminent composer, Jonathan Harvey. This unique volume presents an up-to-date snapshot of the scientific study of musical creativity, in conjunction with ESCOM (the European Society for the Cognitive Sciences of Music). Describing many of the different aspects of musical creativity and their study, it will form a useful springboard for further such study in future years, and will be of interest to academics and practitioners in music, psychology, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, neuroscience and other fields concerning the study of human cognition in this most human of behaviours.
