Notes:

Includes bibliographical references and index.Leeds has rich musical histories and heritage, a long tradition of vibrant music venues, nightclubs, dance halls, pubs and other sites of musical entertainment. The city has spawned crooners, folk singers, punks, post-punks, Goths, DJs, popstars, rappers and indie rockers, yet - with a few exceptions - Leeds has not been studied for its scenes in ways that other UK cities have. In ways that these chapters explore, Leeds' popular music exemplifies and informs understandings of broader cultural and urban changes - both in Britain and across wider global contexts - of the social and historical significance of music as mass media; music and migration; music, racialisation and social equity; industrial decline, de-industrialisation, neoliberalism and the rise of the 24-hour city.
