  • Performing Borders
    Radical Musicology Volume 1 (2006) ISSN 1751-7788 Beyond Borders: The Female Welsh Pop Voice Sarah Hill University of Southampton For all its reputation as a musical culture, the number of women pop stars to 1 have emerged from Wales can be counted charitably on two hands, with some fingers to spare. Wales is a small country, host to two rich linguistic cultures, each with its own musical heritage and traditions, yet very few musicians of either gender have crossed over from one tradition to the other. The rarity of a female singer making such a border crossing is marked, allowing for a delicate lineage to be traced across the decades, from the 1960s to the present, revealing certain commonalities of experience, acceptance, and reversion. With this in mind, I would like to draw a linguistic and cultural connection between two determinedly different Welsh women singers. In the 1960s, when women’s voices were the mainstays of Motown, the folk circuit and the Haight-Ashbury, in Wales only Mary Hopkin managed to shift from Welsh-language to Anglo-American pop; thirty years later, Cerys Matthews made the same journey. These two women bear certain similarities: they both come from South Wales, they are both singers whose first, or preferred, language is Welsh, and they both found their niche in the Anglo-American mainstream market. These two women faced the larger cultural problems of linguistic and musical border-crossings, but more importantly, they challenged the place of the female pop voice in Wales, and of the female Welsh pop voice in Anglo-America.

  • "Ersatz As the Day Is Long": Japanese Popular
    “ERSATZ AS THE DAY IS LONG”: JAPANESE POPULAR MUSIC, THE STRUGGLE FOR AUTHNETICITY, AND COLD WAR ORIENTALISM Robyn P. Perry A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2021 Committee: Walter Grunden, Advisor Jeremy Wallach © 2021 Robyn P. Perry All Rights Reserve iii ABSTRACT Walter Grunden, Advisor During the Allied Occupation of Japan, Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers (SCAP) Douglas MacArthur set forth on a mission to Americanize Japan. One way SCAP decided this could be done was by utilizing forms of media that were already popular in Japan, particularly the radio. The Far East Network (FEN), a network of American military radio and television stations in Japan, Okinawa, Guam, and the Philippines, began to broadcast American country & western music. By the early 1950s, Japanese country & western ensembles would begin to form, which initiated the evolution toward modern J-pop. During the first two decades of the Cold War, performers of various postwar subgenres of early Japanese rock (or J-rock), including country & western, rockabilly, kayōkyoku, eleki, and Group Sounds, would attempt to break into markets in the West. While some of these performers floundered, others were able to walk side-by-side with several Western greats or even become stars in their own right, such as when Kyu Sakamoto produced a number one hit in the United States with his “Sukiyaki” in 1963. The way that these Japanese popular music performers were perceived in the West, primarily in the United States, was rooted in centuries of Orientalist preconceptions about Japanese people, Japanese culture, and Japan that had recently been recalibrated to reflect the ethos of the Cold War.

  • Representations of Liverpool Exceptionalism in the Merseybeat Period, 1960-1965
    Representations of Liverpool Exceptionalism in the Merseybeat period, 1960-1965. Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy by David Kmiot June 2019 1 2 Acknowledgements The contributions of people who helped me with this project cannot be understated. I would like to thank Dr Graeme Milne for his unending support over the last five years, not just with the actual writing of the thesis. I would also like to thank Drs Laura Balderstone and Anna Bocking-Welch, my second supervisors, whose insights on oral history and a general understanding of whether what I was writing actually made sense were indispensable. I would like to also thank those who contributed to this thesis in the oral history interviews. Their willingness to talk, share stories, and entertain an inquisitive PhD student was invaluable. Personally, I would like to thank my mother, Nia, for her continued support in my attempts to squeeze just another bit of higher education into my life, my brother Huw for his support through keeping me amused, and Rachel Coombes, for being someone I could rely on when I was having thesis-related panics and being far more confident in my ability than I was myself. Finally, this thesis is dedicated to my late father, Wit, whose own frustrations at having not studied History were represented in bookshelves full of History books at home, and whose frustration I have now hopefully satisfied, in some way. 3 Table of Contents Abstract 5 Introduction 7 Part I 1.
