The-Sunday-Times-Giving-List-2021.Pdf The Sunday Times Giving List 2021 The top 200 philanthropists in the UK The Giving List shines a light on the good that flows from wealth creation. For the first time in the 20-year history of the list, charitable donations from the super-rich topped £4 billion. The £4.305 billion gifted over the past 12 months representing a 36.1 per cent rise on the £3.164 billion given the previous year. Covid-19 has fuelled the giving spree and £520 million of donations have been tracked to this end alone, covering PPE supplies, the alleviation of food poverty, community support and the vital area of helping to plug the £10 billion funding gap in the finances of charities up and down the country. The Giving List shows the pandemic how the pandemic has united young and old in a common cause. This year, an increasing number of younger people feature among the most generous on the Giving List. 20 years of the Giving List This is the 20th anniversary of the Giving List and we’ve been proud to partner with The Sunday Times since 2005 to produce it. In addition to the top 200 philanthropists in the UK, this year we feature a list of the 30 leading Giving List donors of the past 20 years. 2 30 Leading Giving List donors 2002-2021 Sums given to or spent by charities in which individuals or their families have a controlling interest.

  • Textual Spectacle: the Transmedial Storyworld of Coldplay's Mylo Xyloto
    The Concept Album as Visual-Sonic- Textual Spectacle: The Transmedial Storyworld of Coldplay’s Mylo Xyloto Lori Burns University of Ottawa [email protected] Abstract This paper studies the elaboration of the concept album by means of multimodal promotional strategies that include the concert tour, music videos, books, as well as other digital and print materials. Adopting the perspective that the meaning of a concept album emerges in and through a potentially complex network of materials, we can receive and understand concept album storytelling to operate according to multimedial, intermedial and transmedial contexts. This study examines the transmedial storyworld of Coldplay’s Mylo Xyloto concept spectacle as it is developed in and through the material content of the original album, the Coldplay: Live 2012 (Coldplay 2012c) concert film, as well as the paraphonographic materials that extend Mylo Xyloto into a variety of media. KEYWORDS: Concept album, spectacle, multimodality, intermediality, transmediality Introduction In the context of the new millennial industry of popular music, artists from a variety of genres rely heavily upon current technologies and social media platforms to develop elaborate promotional strategies, thus expanding the idea of the concept album to the concert tour, music videos, books, and a range of supplementary materials. With such an approach, the concept album can be seen to extend across multiple media formats in supplementary materials and live IASPM@Journal vol.6 no.2 (2016) Journal of the International Association for the Study of Popular Music ISSN 2079-3871 | DOI 10.5429/2079-3871(2016)v6i2.6en | www.iaspmjournal.net 92 Lori Burns performances.
