  • Prose Supplement 7 (2011) [Click for Pdf]
    PS edited by Raymond Friel and Richard Price number 7 Ten Richard Price It’s ten years since I started Painted, spoken. Looking back over the issues of the magazine, two of the central patterns were there from the word go. They’re plain as day in the title: the fluid yet directing edge poetry shares with the visual arts, and, somewhere so far in the other direction it’s almost the same thing, the porous edge poetry shares with sound or performance, so porous you can hear it in its hollows. Although the magazine grew out of serial offences in little magazineship, the first impulse was to be quite different formally from Gairfish, Verse, and Southfields, each of which had placed a premium on explanation, on prose engagement, and on the analysis of the cultural traditions from which the poems they published either appeared to emerge or through which, whatever their actual origins, they could be understood. Painted, spoken would be much more tight-lipped, a gallery without the instant contextualisation demanded by an educational agenda (perhaps rightly in a public situation, but a mixed model is surely better than a constant ‘tell-us-what-to-think’ approach and the public isn’t always best served by conventional teaching). Instead, poems in Painted, spoken would take their bearings from what individual readers brought to the texts ‘themselves’ - because readers are never really alone - and also from the association of texts with each other, in a particular issue and across issues. The magazine went on its laconic way for several years until a different perspective began to open up, a crystal started to solidify, whatever metaphor you’d care to use for time-lapse comprehension (oh there’s another one): in management-speak, significant change impressed on the strategy and the strategy needed to change.

  • Pictish Symbol Stones and Early Cross-Slabs from Orkney
    Proc Soc Antiq Scot 144 (2014), PICTISH169–204 SYMBOL STONES AND EARLY CROSS-SLABS FROM ORKNEY | 169 Pictish symbol stones and early cross-slabs from Orkney Ian G Scott* and Anna Ritchie† ABSTRACT Orkney shared in the flowering of interest in stone carving that took place throughout Scotland from the 7th century AD onwards. The corpus illustrated here includes seven accomplished Pictish symbol- bearing stones, four small stones incised with rough versions of symbols, at least one relief-ornamented Pictish cross-slab, thirteen cross-slabs (including recumbent slabs), two portable cross-slabs and two pieces of church furniture in the form of an altar frontal and a portable altar slab. The art-historical context for this stone carving shows close links both with Shetland to the north and Caithness to the south, as well as more distant links with Iona and with the Pictish mainland south of the Moray Firth. The context and function of the stones are discussed and a case is made for the existence of an early monastery on the island of Flotta. While much has been written about the Picts only superb building stone but also ideal stone for and early Christianity in Orkney, illustration of carving, and is easily accessible on the foreshore the carved stones has mostly taken the form of and by quarrying. It fractures naturally into flat photographs and there is a clear need for a corpus rectilinear slabs, which are relatively soft and can of drawings of the stones in related scales in easily be incised, pecked or carved in relief.

  • Martin Cloonan: Trying to Have an Impact
    58 International Journal of Music Business Research, October 2020, vol. 9 no. 2 Trying to have an impact: Some confessions of a live music researcher Martin Cloonan1 Abstract This article offers the author's reflections on over fifteen years of researching the live music industry in the UK. It raises issues such as the role of academics, how to have impact and the meaning of value. Overall it suggests that impact can be found in various ways and that it needs to be built via establishing long term relationships while remaining impartial, to be collective and to involve some opportunism. Keywords: Live music, music industries, music policy, impact 1 Introduction This article offers some reflections on the policy and other implications of researching live music. It draws upon six research projects: Mapping the Music Industry in Scotland (2002-3), the History of Live Music in the UK (2008-11), Live Music Exchange (2012-), two projects on Cultural Value (2013 and 2014) and the UK Live Music Census (2016-2018). Each is summarised and lessons drawn before a concluding section draws the findings together. Before continuing it is necessary to note that the paper deals with live music, something which can be characterised in economic terms as an experiential good. What is essentially being sold is something which the audience can imagine in its heads beforehand, experience at the event and then remember afterwards (Cloonan 2012). But the gig itself cannot be taken home, even if audience members or others video rec- ord it. A major aspect of live music - and something which helps some artists to command high fees - is the aspect of being there, of being pre- sent and involved.
