Legacies of the 1973 Coup in Chile
Music Heritage, Music-evoked Reminiscence and Cultural Identity
This article explores the findings of our recent work with the Chilean community in Liverpool, investigating the importance of music as an individual and collective inheritance and how music is valued and attached to a sense of self, place and belonging. Using a novel methodology based on BBC Radio Four’s programme ‘Inheritance Tracks’, participants took part in workshops where they discussed two pieces of music, one passed on to them and one the…
Continuity and change in popular music curation
How is popular music curated and how has this practice developed over time? What distinguishes it and what can focusing on curation reveal about popular music history? This article addresses these questions with the help of three exhibitions exploring aspects of the popular music past. Staged in Liverpool between 1991 and 2016, the exhibitions illustrate the work and effort of exhibiting and curating popular music, and developments and changes in…

Mapping Cultures
This chapter discusses some of the ways official cartographies of popular cultural memory in Liverpool exercise a performative function predicated on marketing and branding the city as a space of consumption, tourism, and heritage. It also focuses on the question of scope and critical efficacy of cultural mapping from two distinct but overlapping trajectories. The distinctions lie in the specificities of film and popular music as cultural and spa…

Unauthorising popular music heritage
The purpose of this paper is to set out a critical and analytical framework with which to explore the ways in which popular music heritage in the UK (or in England more specifically) is variously understood, discussed, critiqued, practised or performed. Developed as part of a large-scale European project examining popular music, cultural heritage and cultural memory, our analysis is based on qualitative studies of popular music heritage discourse…

Localised popular music histories and their significance for \nmusic audiences and music industries in Europe’, hereafter referred to with the \nacronym POPID. The three-year project, which started in 2010, was financed under \nthe Humanities for the E…
Musical memory, heritage and local identity
This paper explores the relationship between rock music, collective memory and local identity, by focusing on events connected to Liverpool's status as European Capital of Culture 2008. The first part of the paper describes these events and how memories of local rock music were attached to heritage and local identity and mobilised to validate Liverpool as a capital of culture, whilst in turn the city's Capital of Culture status served to validate…
Live music and urban landscape
This paper explores the nature and significance of live music as urban culture by focusing on a pilot project that involved creating digital, interactive maps featuring sites of music-making in Liverpool. The first of the paper's three main sections introduces the pilot project and the wider project that informed it. The second and longest section highlights three particular challenges encountered during the mapping process, and explains how addr…
Bubbles, Tracks, Borders and Lines
This article explores the relationship between music and material urban environments by drawing on ethnographic research with rock and hip-hop musicians. The first of its three sections introduces some of the musicians who participated in that research and the maps they drew to illustrate their music-making activities in the city. The second compares these hand-drawn maps and their various lines and patterns, and relates their differences to musi…
Popular music, mapping, and the characterization of Liverpool
Liverpool is widely recognized for its iconic ‘Three Graces’—a trio of grand buildings that stand along the city’s River Mersey waterfront. In this article we argue that there are a similar kind of iconic ‘three graces’ in Liverpool’s popular music and heritage landscapes: the Cavern Club, Eric’s Club, and Cream. These three venues have taken on broader symbolic meanings as representative of entire musical styles and eras. As such they dominate t…
"Rock Landmark at Risk"
Introduction to 'Dance' special issue
Are ye dancin'?' 'Are ye askin'?' 'Yes I'm askin" 'Then I'm dancin'!' This was the exchange between couples in Glasgow early in the twentieth century at the height of the ballroom dancing boom that made the city one of the dancing capitals of the world. It lingers on in Scottish dancing parlance. In Havana, people were dancing danzón; in Buenos Aires, tango; and in Río de Janeiro, samba. It was a time of big orchestras when women wore evening dre…
Country at the Heart of the City
Hank Walters is a familiar and charismatic figure within the scene of Liverpool, a maritime port city of 439,000 that lies on the northwest coast of England. I had heard a lot about Hank before Kevin McManus and I were first introduced to him in 1990 when conducting ethnographic research on the musical life of Liverpool, and we subsequently met with Hank on many occasions to watch him perform and to talk to him about his involve ment with music. …
Local music policies within a global music industry
Sounding out the City
The relationship between music and place is explored through biographical information on one particular individual and his social activities and networks in the city of Liverpool. Music plays a role in producing place as a material setting comprising the physical and built environment; as a setting for everyday social relations, practices and interactions; and as a concept or symbol that is represented or interpreted. This production of place thr…
Ethnography and popular music studies
Simon Frith (1982) once bemoaned the fact that students would rather sit in the library and study popular music (mainly punk) in terms of the appropriate cultural theory, than conduct ethnographic research which would treat popular music as social practice and process. Ten years later the literature on popular music is still lacking in ethnography
