        Players' work time

        A history of the British Musicians' Union, 1893–2013

        by Martin Cloonan, John Callan Williamson

        This book examines the working lives of musicians over the past 120 years via the history of the Musicians' Union. The union has been at the centre of all major agreements covering the employment of musicians across the UK's music industries for this period and its role to date has largely been ignored by historians of the music profession, the music industries and trade unions. This book remedies that oversight, providing fresh insight to musicians' working lives, the industries in which they work and wider British social life. It explores a history of confrontation, coercion and compromise played out across the nation's studios, performance spaces and airwaves.

Of all people, it’s Gregor – who knows nothing whatsoever about football – who knows somebody: Leo, a defender, has moved to the town. Could Leo be the answer to the Soccer Gang’s problem?

        Antony and Cleopatra

        by Carol Chillington Rutter

        This book writes a performance history of Antony and Cleopatra, Shakespeare's most ambiguous play, from 1606 to the present. It observes the choices that actors, directors, designers, musicians and adapters have made each time they have brought the play's thoughts on power, race, masculinity, regime change, exoticism, love, dotage and delinquency into alignment with a new present. Informed by close attention to theatre records - promptbooks, stage managers' reports, reviews - it offers in-depth analyses of fifteen international productions by (among others) the Royal Shakespeare Company, Citizens Theatre Glasgow, Northern Broadsides, Berliner Ensemble and Toneelgroep Amsterdam. It ends seeing Shakespeare's black Egyptian Queen Cleopatra - whited-out in performance for centuries - restored to the contemporary stage. Written in a lively and accessible style, this book will be of interest to students, academics, actors, directors and general readers alike.

        Studio Electrophonique

        The Sheffield space age, from The Human League to Pulp

        by Jamie Taylor

        The amazing story of the home studio that helped launch some of Britain's most beloved bands. The Sheffield space age began in 1961, when local mechanic Ken Patten won a tape-recording competition by recreating the sound of a rocket launch using a pencil and a bicycle pump. In the decades that followed, the makeshift home studio he constructed became the launch pad for a group of young musicians who would shape the futuristic sound of 1980s pop. The Human League, Heaven 17, Pulp, ABC and others made their early recordings with Ken, whose DIY ethic was the perfect fit for a city facing industrial decline but teeming with ideas. Studio Electrophonique tells the story of a generation seeking new frontiers in music, using everything they could lay their hands on - from science fiction novels to glam rock, Dada art and cheap electronics - to get there. Drawing on original interviews with Jarvis Cocker, Martyn Ware, Mark White and others, it brings to light a world of humour, charm, creativity and unfounded yet undaunted self-belief.

        Arts and Medicine

        How music, painting, theatre, dance, literature and architecture heal

        by Stefan N. Willich

        Art, medicine and health have many points of contact and a long tradition. Even in Greek mythology, Apollo was the god of the arts. Artistic approaches to therapy (including visual and performing arts, music, dance and literature) have been used for many centuries and are still offered in some medical institutions today. Despite this long practical experience, there is little scientific evidence of its effectiveness. Basic research provides an important basis for art therapy with interesting new approaches for investigating possible mechanisms of action. In addition, the overall social signifi- cance of art for health is an important topic, especially with regard to preventive effects for the population. The book provides a comprehensive overview of how art can be used as a health-promoting resource and highlights various research approaches. In addition, a brief review of the historical development of art in medicine is given. For the first time, the influence of music, painting, dance, literature and architecture on people’s state of health and the healing effect they can have is shown. Target group: Art therapists, artists, psychotherapists, child and adolescent psychologists, psychoanalysts and psychologists, health professionals, music and dance therapists, art and music educators, community musicians
