I don’t know whether you saw at the weekend but the BBC carried quite an interesting story on a Dutch festival event with 1,500 partygoers. Everyone had certificates to say that they had had a recent Covid test. People were wearing masks and everyone seemed to have an absolutely amazing time, yet Holland has a higher Covid rate than us and one of the most sluggish vaccination rates in the EU.

In 20 21 22 particular, boutique festivals are discussed as examples of a contemporary cultural 23 24 ‘product category’ which has emerged and proliferated in the last decade. Through 25 26 discourse analysis of media representations of boutique festivals we situate the boutique 27 28 festival in a broader sociocultural discourse of agency and choice, which makes it 29 30 meaningful and desirable, and outline the type of consumer it is meant to attract. For the 31 32 33 contemporary consumer the boutique festival is presented as an anticipated experience 34 35 based on countercultural festival imagery, whilst simultaneously framing cultural 36 37 participation through consumption. The paper contributes to a wider debate on the 38 39 construction of the consumer in the cultural economy. 40 41 42 43 44 Keywords : cultural production; anticipation; aesthetic experiences; boutique festivals; 45 46 discourse analysis 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 URL: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/gsco 1 Culture and Organization Page 2 of 35 1 2 3 Introduction 4 5 Once the exclusive preserve of the student, the 6 7 crusty and the semi-pro psychonaut, festivals are 8 9 10 now an enshrined element of the cultural 11 12 calendar.

Name …………………………………………. ii Abstract This study critically investigated the key themes, issues and trends within boutique festivals in the UK as represented by the UK media over the ten-year period 2007 - 2017. This was achieved through a discourse analysis of UK magazine and newspaper articles. All media data was sourced online using the search engine ‘Google’. In order to achieve the aim the researcher first created a set of objectives to be met. These objectives began with a critical review of the current literature surrounding the festival industry with specific reference to the boutique genre and focus on associated themes, issues and trends. A conceptual framework was created from the discussed secondary data within the literature review. A suitable research methodology was created and secondary data was collected through the search engine ‘Google’ specifically ‘Google/news’.

  • Lecture Notes from 'Get Plugged In' a 3 Day
    LECTURE NOTES FROM ‘GET PLUGGED IN’ A 3 DAY COURSE ON THE LIVE MUSIC INDUSTRY FOR MUSIC TANK AT WESTMINSTER UNIVERSITY Note: my apologies for any typos. There’s forty-one pages of text here. Also, to those who remember my talking about something that’s not mentioned below; it’s not realistic for me to record everything I say, listen back to it, then transcribe those parts for inclusion below SECTOR OVERVIEW STAKEHOLDERS - Venues (a 250 cap venue in Glasgow and Wembley Stadium - 80,000 - face very different problems - Managers (the UK’s Music Manager’s Forum is the world’s largest representative body of Artist Management) - Publishers (who benefit when an artist’s profile increases in the live arena, through performance royalties, and the ability to charge / charge more for sync licenses) - Merchandise companies - Backline hirers, van hire companies, rehearsal spaces - Promoters - Agents - Ticketing companies - Festivals - Utilities companies (when you buy a ticket online, or stream a song, or listen to your MP3 player, you use electricity and or an internet connection) - Artists - Audiences - Who else? Labels, recording and mastering studios, manufacturing plants, equipment manufacturers... everyone, in fact, in the music industry, since any income from any source helps facilitate all other artist activities, and an artist’s rising profile potentially boosts income across all facets of its business SPRINGBOARD - This comment piece was written for the ILMC’s (International Live Music Conference) magazine ‘IQ’. I was asked to write 450 words on a subject of my choosing. After three re-writes to make it appear less confrontational, I submitted it for publication and was told that before it could be published it would have to be ‘approved’ by some of the live industry’s most senior figures, because IQ considered it to be very controversial.
