  • 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 1 Shetland
    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. Hoy, with its high moorland hills and towering cliffs, provides a strong contrast.
