Kwaku’s work is a testament to Brent’s contribution to the evolution of British black music and the commercial infrastructure to support it. His research contained separate sections on labels, shops, artists, radio stations and sound systems. In this version we have amalgamated these into a single ‘encyclopedia’ and added entries that cover the period between 2007-2020. The process of gathering Brent’s musical heritage is an ongoing task - there are many incomplete entries and gaps.

  • Creativity, Capital and Entrepreneurship: the Contemporary Experience of Competition in UK Urban Music
    Creativity, Capital and Entrepreneurship: The Contemporary Experience of Competition in UK Urban Music George William Henry Musgrave School of Politics, Philosophy, Language & Communication Studies, and the ESRC Centre for Competition Policy (CCP), University of East Anglia Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2014 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution 1 Abstract This thesis explores how a competitive marketplace is experienced by creative labour in the context of UK urban music by employing an experimental ethnographic research approach. Between 2010-2013, observations, interviews and textual analysis were conducted with two case-study ‘MCs’, alongside reflexive autoethnographic analysis of the author’s own career as an unsigned artist. The findings contribute to the study of competitiveness by highlighting how it is understood from the perspective of producers, as well as to a wider body of qualitative academic literature exploring the ways in which creative labour operates in advanced markets. It is proposed that in an increasingly competitive context, cultural intermediaries assume a crucial role in the lives of artists for their ability to act as both a distributor and a distinguisher, thereby addressing the work of cultural sociologists and creative labour scholars that debates the role of intermediaries in cultural markets. The methods of artistic collaboration which creative labour employ to capture the attention of these intermediaries, demonstrates that competitiveness can engender collaboration.

  • George Musgrave: Collaborating To
    Collaborating to compete 41 Collaborating to compete: the role of cultural intermediaries in hypercompetition George Musgrave1 Abstract This article explores the role that cultural intermediaries, defined primarily as radio DJs and journalists, play in the lives of three unsigned UK urban music artists. Using semi-structured interviews, textual analysis of social media usage, and observation notes, as well as auto-ethnographic examination of the author's own career as a musician over a four-year period between 2010-13, it is suggested that intermediar- ies are of crucial importance in the lives of artists largely as distinguishers in an en- vironment of ferocious competition, which anonymises via abundance. Their role is therefore deeply symbolic, providing credible eminence. By interpreting these find- ings through a Bourdieusian lens, it is suggested that these collaborative processes of intermediary engagement, which allow musicians to acquire large reserves of in- stitutionalised cultural capital, problematise notions of success by masking the pro- found difficulties they have in converting this prestige into material rewards. There is therefore, for these musicians, a worrying ambiguity relating to how others un- derstand and value what they do, and a tension between this perception and their material reality. Keywords: popular music, cultural intermediaries, auto-ethnography, creative in- dustries, competition, Bourdieu 1 Introduction Competition is the economist's and policy maker's panacea; the bench- mark towards which markets must confidently march in order to maxim- ise consumer welfare. However, what does this mean for producers ex- periencing this competition? This paper seeks to invert the methodolog- ical gaze when looking at the impact of competition, away from the benefits for the marketplace and the consumer towards the producer, 1 George Musgrave is a senior lecturer at the University of Westminster, and a lecturer at Gold- smiths (University of London) in the Institute for Creative and Cultural Entrepreneurship.

    Tension and Release: Exploring the role of Music in the Daily Life of a Men’s Local Prison Page | 1 Chris Waller Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Law Royal Holloway, University of London Declaration of Authorship I, Chris Waller, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others this is always clearly stated. Chris Waller March 2020 Page | 2 Dedicated to the Memory of Dr Richard Smith Page | 3 Acknowledgements I want to thank my supervisors Serena Wright, David Denney and Richard Smith first and foremost. Serena, the moment you joined my supervisory team in my second year was a pivotal moment for me and without your kindness, intellect, and humour I would not have gotten as far as gaining access to a prison let alone sitting here writing my acknowledgements. You’ve been a reassuring voice in the hard times and an enthusiastic one in the good times and have somehow managed to hit the supervisory sweet spot between friend and inspiration. David, thanks for the confidence that you put in me throughout my time as your student and supervisee, your warmth and guidance are deeply appreciated. I have missed the conspiratorial flavour of our supervisions and thank you for your care and hard work. You and Richard were the reason that I felt able to undertake this journey and I feel lucky to have been supervised by my favourite tutors. Richard, you were always immensely generous with your time and knowledge and I am sad that I won’t be able to sit in your office and chat with you about politics, bands and cultural theory anymore.
