AmericanRadioHistory.Com mmusic FE/mu `Cut the crap': U.K.progran by Paul Sexton & Mike McGeever As this year's "In The City" event (Glasgow, September 27 -October 1) concentrates the minds of U.K. record industry talent -seekers on the acts, the deals and the development strategies needed to fuel future prosperity, Music & Media examines the changing world of A&R in Britain. What are today's A&R scouts looking for? How far ahead can they afford to look? And, crucially, has the much-discussed closer understanding between record companies and music radio had any effect on the way the A&R departments do their job?
