  • Tickets for Troops Annual Review 2016
    TICKETS FOR TROOPS ANNUAL REVIEW 2016 The Sun Military Awards Nominees at Number 10 Downing Street: Tickets For Troops was nominated for ‘Support to Armed Forces’ FOREWORD Thanks to the tremendous philanthropy of our supporters and donors from the nation’s live sports and events industry, 2016 was another active year for Tickets For Troops. We worked closely with hundreds of ticketing professionals, agents, box offices, promoters, clubs, teams and many more groups to ensure our servicemen and women continued to enjoy the delights of the sporting, musical, theatrical and entertainment world. This wonderful generosity combined with some beavering away in the Tickets For Troops office ensured that we were able to distribute 152,652 complimentary tickets for 6,291 events to our military members. Half way through the year, we were delighted to welcome on board a new team of regional volunteers known as ambassadors who are responsible for helping to increase the number of donors in their respective regions. The volunteer opportunity attracted a large number of applications from all around the country and the overall standard was exceptionally high. It was humbling for the team to see how many people from within the forces community wanted to give something back to Tickets For Troops. The regional ambassadors are being managed by our newest employee Elisabeth Roberts - recruited on a part-time basis thanks to the Armed Forces Covenant Fund grant. We were sad to lose Anastasia Baker in October, she was a superb asset to the team with her excellent customer service manner and speedy ticket packaging skills - we wish her well for the future.

  • Musique Celtique.Pub
    Ballade celte A la découverte des musiques celtiques Novembre 2008 Qu’est ce que la musique celtique ? Celle des anciens pays celtes ? Beaucoup d’européens pourraient alors s’en réclamer, ce qui ne viendrait jamais à l’idée d’un autrichien par exemple. On peut ajouter au critère géographique le critère linguistique. La musique celtique correspondrait aux régions qui ont su garder vivante la langue de leurs lointains ancêtres : Bretagne, Irlande, Écosse, Pays de Galles. A ce stade on ne peut cependant que constater la grande diversité d’un pays à l’autre. Quel point commun existe-t-il, en effet, entre la prestation d’un pipe-band, un kan ha diskan de derrière les fagots ou un reel irlandais ? Il convient donc d’envisager résolument le pluriel quand on parle de musiques celtiques. Même si l’utilisation systématique de certains instruments, tel l’emblématique cornemuse, contribue à unifier le son, du moins à leur conférer un indéniable air de famille. Certains, comme Alan Stivell discernent quand même des éléments qui seraient techniquement inhérents à celles-ci : une préférence marquée pour la gamme pentatonique plutôt que diatonique, une certaine complexité de l’interprétation, un croisement de la mélodie, un « swing » celtique issu d’un mouvement constant entre rythme binaire et ternaire. Quelle que soit la manière dont on les définit, les musiques celtiques proposent un patrimoine d’une grande richesse et offrent l’exemple exceptionnel de traditions que les peuples ont su conserver et redécouvrir pour mieux les transmettre. Les musiciens et chanteurs ont fait preuve de beaucoup de créativité pour faire évoluer cet héritage, afin qu’il reste vivant et attractif.

Abstract The development and evolution of an agricultural system is influenced by many factors including binding constraints (limiting factors), choice of investments, and historic presence of land and income inequality. This study analyzed the development of two farming systems: mechanized, “economies of scale” farming in the Arkansas Delta and crofting in the Scottish Highlands. The study hypothesized that the current farm size in each region can be partially attributed to the binding constraints of either land or labor.

  • 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.

    The Landscapes of Scotland Descriptions 1 - 10 1 Shetland and Fair Isle 2 Orkney 3 Lewis 4 North Coast 5 Caithness 6 Assynt 7 Sutherland 8 Flow Country 9 Sutherland Kyles and Coast 10 Harris 1 Shetland Description An elongated group of islands, whose character is accentuated by the north-south trend of the hills and ridges. The dramatic coastlines are highly varied, with fjords, arches, stacks, beaches and tombolos (sand bars). The seas are busy with boat and ferry traffic. The coast is where most of the settlement is located, including the distinctive capital of Lerwick with its narrow stone-flagged streets. The islands are mostly tree-less while seabirds throng the coasts and cliffs. Frequent winds sweep over landscapes with long hours of summer light and winter darkness, and a strong sense of Nordic culture. The landscape is rich in exceptionally well preserved archaeological remains. This includes a high proportion of nationally important sites, such as, at Mousa, the best preserved broch in Scotland, and extensive Norse remains in Unst Key technical information sources: Selected creative associations LCA: Shetland Isles Music St Ninian's Isle (Aly Bain); NHF – Shetland 2002 (1) Foula, Papa Stour (Boys of the Lough) HLA Naismith – Buildings of the Scottish Countryside pp 204-206 1 The Landscapes of Scotland 2 Orkney Description A group of diverse islands centred around a larger “mainland”. The southern islands encompass the renowned anchorage of Scapa Flow. Most of the land is low-lying, with fertile green farmland, sandy beaches and rocky headlands.
