  • Live Among the White Trash: a History of Nono----Manman on Stage
    Live Among the White Trash: A history of nono----manman on stage “There are no No-Man concerts scheduled for the foreseeable future.” (from the official no-man website) Anyone who has followed no-man’s career over the previous ten years or so will be acutely aware that the band does not play live. If no-man “exist” as a band at all – and their infrequent releases mean they are more an ongoing understanding between two men rather than an active unit – it is only in the studio. Over a series of uncompromising albums no-man’s music has become ever more complex, yet ironically, “live sounding” than the release which proceeded it. But this organic “liveness” is mainly an illusion; the feeling of spontaneity often the result of numerous edits and takes which only the precision of studio work can produce. Others have tried to perform equally difficult music live: Radiohead ambitiously thrusting their clicks-and- cuts post-rock upon the world’s stadiums, for example. But for a variety of reasons, no-man simply haven’t tried – at least, not since 1994 and not until a one-off performance in 2006. The only comparable case is Talk Talk’s retreat into the studio in the late 1980s. Both bands have undoubtedly crafted their best work without going near an audience. 1 But it wasn’t always so. no-man were once very much a live act, promoting singles and albums with dates and undertaking two full-blown tours – though they rarely played outside London, never went further north than Newcastle, and never played outside Great Britain.

  • Futureheads Announced As First Summer Ball Headliner | Nouse
    Nouse Web Archives Futureheads announced as first Summer Ball headliner Page 1 of 3 News Comment MUSE. Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Futureheads announced as first Summer Ball headliner By Harry Gallivan, Managing Director (2013/14) Wednesday 15 May 2013 The Futureheads YUSU have announced post-punk band The Futureheads as the first leading act for the 2013 Summer Ball at York Racecourse. Kallum Taylor, YUSU President, confirmed the act this afternoon. The Sunderland-born band has performed at prestigious venues such as Glastonbury in 2005 and the biggest open-air festival in Europe, Woodstock, with 300,000 people attending in 2009. Their latest 2012 album, Rant, marked a radical departure for the band. Featuring no musical instruments at all, it consisted entirely of a cappella covers, including covers of Black Eye Peas’ ‘Meet me Halfway’ and Kelis’ ‘Acapella’. In a 2011 interview, lead singer Barry Hyde said; “We were partly inspired by [80s a cappella group] The Flying Pickets. They were great singers but their tracks were a bit asexual sounding. We want this to be more rough.” The album was nominated for Artrocker’s ‘Album of the Year’ award in 2012, and was rated 8/10 by NME. In 2005, their cover of Kate Bush’s song, ‘Hounds of Love’, reached number 8 in the charts and was named best single by NME. The band has also accompanied The Foo Fighters and Snow Patrol during their stage sets. More announcements. including the biggest act of the night, will be announced in the coming weeks. The 2013 ball is expected to be an exciting event following on from last year’s headline acts, Feeder and Stooshe.

  • Popular Political Oratory and Itinerant Lecturing in Yorkshire and the North East in the Age of Chartism, 1837-60 Janette Lisa M
    Popular political oratory and itinerant lecturing in Yorkshire and the North East in the age of Chartism, 1837-60 Janette Lisa Martin This thesis is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of York Department of History January 2010 ABSTRACT Itinerant lecturers declaiming upon free trade, Chartism, temperance, or anti- slavery could be heard in market places and halls across the country during the years 1837- 60. The power of the spoken word was such that all major pressure groups employed lecturers and sent them on extensive tours. Print historians tend to overplay the importance of newspapers and tracts in disseminating political ideas and forming public opinion. This thesis demonstrates the importance of older, traditional forms of communication. Inert printed pages were no match for charismatic oratory. Combining personal magnetism, drama and immediacy, the itinerant lecturer was the most effective medium through which to reach those with limited access to books, newspapers or national political culture. Orators crucially united their dispersed audiences in national struggles for reform, fomenting discussion and coalescing political opinion, while railways, the telegraph and expanding press reportage allowed speakers and their arguments to circulate rapidly. Understanding of political oratory and public meetings has been skewed by over- emphasis upon the hustings and high-profile politicians. This has generated two misconceptions: that political meetings were generally rowdy and that a golden age of political oratory was secured only through Gladstone’s legendary stumping tours. However, this thesis argues that, far from being disorderly, public meetings were carefully regulated and controlled offering disenfranchised males a genuine democratic space for political discussion.
