  • ANDERTON Music Festival Capitalism
    1 Music Festival Capitalism Chris Anderton Abstract: This chapter adds to a growing subfield of music festival studies by examining the business practices and cultures of the commercial outdoor sector, with a particular focus on rock, pop and dance music events. The events of this sector require substantial financial and other capital in order to be staged and achieve success, yet the market is highly volatile, with relatively few festivals managing to attain longevity. It is argued that these events must balance their commercial needs with the socio-cultural expectations of their audiences for hedonistic, carnivalesque experiences that draw on countercultural understanding of festival culture (the countercultural carnivalesque). This balancing act has come into increased focus as corporate promoters, brand sponsors and venture capitalists have sought to dominate the market in the neoliberal era of late capitalism. The chapter examines the riskiness and volatility of the sector before examining contemporary economic strategies for risk management and audience development, and critiques of these corporatizing and mainstreaming processes. Keywords: music festival; carnivalesque; counterculture; risk management; cool capitalism A popular music festival may be defined as a live event consisting of multiple musical performances, held over one or more days (Shuker, 2017, 131), though the connotations of 2 the word “festival” extend much further than this, as I will discuss below. For the purposes of this chapter, “popular music” is conceived as music that is produced by contemporary artists, has commercial appeal, and does not rely on public subsidies to exist, hence typically ranges from rock and pop through to rap and electronic dance music, but excludes most classical music and opera (Connolly and Krueger 2006, 667).

  • Using Green Man Festival As a Case Study
    An Investigation to identify how festivals promotional techniques have developed over the years – using Green Man Festival as a case study Victoria Curran BA (hons) Events Management Cardiff Metropolitan University April 2018 i Declaration “I declare that this Dissertation has not already been accepted in substance for any degree and is not concurrently submitted in candidature for any degree. It is the result of my own independent research except where otherwise stated.” Name: Victoria Curran Signed: ii Abstract This research study was carried out in order to explore the different methods of marketing that Green Man Festival utilises, to discover how successful they are, and whether they have changed and developed throughout the years. The study intended to critically review the literature surrounding festivals and festival marketing theories, in order to provide conclusions supported by theory when evaluating the effectiveness of the promotional strategies. It aimed to discover how modern or digital marketing affected Green Man’s promotional techniques, to assess any identified promotional techniques and identify any connections with marketing theory, to investigate how they promote the festival towards their target market, and to finally provide recommendations for futuristic methods of promotion. The dissertation was presented coherently, consisting of five chapters. The first chapter was the introduction, providing a basic insight into the topics involved. The second contains a critical literature review where key themes were identified; the third chapter discussed the methodology used whilst the fourth chapter presents the results that were discovered, providing an analysis and discussion. The final chapter summarises the study, giving recommendations and identifying any limitations of the study.

  • Landscape Character Area 11: EASTERN USK VALLEY LANDSCAPE CHARACTER AREA 11: EASTERN USK VALLEY Broad Landscape Type: SETTLED VALLEYS
    Landscape Character Area 11: EASTERN USK VALLEY LANDSCAPE CHARACTER AREA 11: EASTERN USK VALLEY Broad Landscape Type: SETTLED VALLEYS Description Location and Context This linear LCA includes the floor and lower sides of the Usk Valley. It extends from Pencelli to the eastern edge of the National Park near Abergavenny, and includes several settlements including Crickhowell, Talybont and Bwlch. It has nine adjacent LCAs, including the high land of the Central Beacons to the west and the Black Mountains to the east. Summary Description This settled, luxuriant valley contrasts with the surrounding open and craggy hills. Its wide, flat valley floor with its patchwork of fields is an important transport route, containing main roads and the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal. A fertile, agricultural landscape, the Usk Valley is also strongly influenced by parkland planting and in places is densely wooded. The valley has a long history of settlement, and contains several villages, numerous farms and country houses with their associated grounds. A series of Iron Age hillforts overlook the valley, and the southern part has industrial links with the Clydach Gorge and Blaenavon Industrial Landscape World Heritage Site. The Usk Valley west of Crickhowell Historical Development of the Landscape The development of this landscape reflects its strategic role as a key route and transport corridor over millennia, as well as its long use for traditional agriculture and industry. Iron Age hillforts are prominent on the valley sides, with later defensive features including a series of Medieval mottes and castles such as Tretower. Villages developed at crossing points of the river, with some historic bridges surviving.

  • River Usk at Dan-Y-Parc
    River Usk at Dan-y-Parc An advisory visit carried out by the Wild Trout Trust – August 2012 1 1. Introduction This report is the output of a Wild Trout Trust advisory visit undertaken on a 1.5-mile stretch of the River Usk between Crickhowell and Abergavenny. The river is controlled and managed by the Aberlous Fishing Syndicate, and is known as the Dan-y-Parc fishery. The request for the visit was made by Mr. Robert Melvin, who is Secretary of the syndicate and one of the landowners. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Mr. Melvin. Throughout the report, normal convention is followed with respect to bank identification i.e. banks are designated Left Bank (LB) or Right Bank (RB) whilst looking downstream. Upstream boundary Grid ref SO 222 176 Downstream boundary Grid ref SO 233 159 2 2. Catchment overview The River Usk rises on the northern slopes of the Black Mountain of mid-Wales, in the eastern part of the Brecon Beacons National Park. Initially the river flows north, discharging into Usk Reservoir, then east to Sennybridge and on to Brecon before swinging southeast to flow through Talybont-on-Usk, Crickhowell and Abergavenny. From here the river heads due south to Usk before flowing through the city of Newport and on into the Severn estuary at Uskmouth. In terms of the Water Framework Directive, the Dan-y-Parc reach in within waterbody ID GB109056040082, which is currently in ‘moderate’ status with a target of achieving ‘good’ status by 2015.

    Chapter 13.0 Fish including Commercial and Recreational Fisheries www.tidallagoonswanseabay.comwww.tidallagooncardiff.com Tidal Lagoon Cardiff Ltd 13.0 Fish, including Commercial and Recreational Fisheries 13.1 Overview of existing situation 13.1.1 General overview 13.1.1.1 The Severn Estuary and Bristol Channel fish community comprises over 100 recorded species of fish (Potts and Swaby, 1993; Henderson and Bird, 2010), including a number of internationally and nationally designated estuarine and migratory fish species. The main functional groups for estuarine fish assemblages are generally summarised by the following categories (Elliott et al., 2007); i. estuarine species - live in estuaries for whole life-cycle (e.g. flounder), ii. marine migrants - adults live and spawn in the marine environment, with juveniles frequently found in estuaries in large numbers, iii. marine stragglers - live and breed in the marine environment. No estuarine habitat requirements but can be found occasionally in estuaries (e.g. mackerel, dogfish), iv. diadromous comprised of anadromous (migrating from the sea into fresh water to breed (e.g. salmon, sea trout, smelt, shad, lamprey) and catadromous (migrating from fresh water into the sea to breed e.g. eel), and v. freshwater stragglers - species found in low numbers in estuaries that are restricted to areas of low salinity. 13.1.1.2 The most common estuarine and migratory fish species in the inner Bristol Channel fall into the marine stragglers, followed by marine migrants (Henderson, 2007). The other ecological categories comprise less than 5% of the fish assemblage each. The fish assemblage within the Severn Estuary is similar to that of the inner Bristol Channel (Potter et al., 1986).
