| Description: |
The book is a critical history of the Musicians' Union from 1893-2013. It recounts the development of the Union's history and portrays this as primarily consisting of a set of responses to technological, industrial and socio-political changes. -- . |
| Synopsis: |
This is about musicians' working lives in Britain from the late Victorian era to the present day. Using the Musicians' Union as a prism through which to explore those lives, the book illuminates the key factors which shape musicians' working lives including such things as changes in technology, law and the music industries, while also considering matters of nationality, gender and genre. Anyone interested in music and the people who make it will be interested in this history. -- . |
