Book SynopsisAn unorthodox autobiography detailing a 50 year career in the music, entertainment and film industry.Trade ReviewA few years ago I was at a North East Film Festival of which I'm the patron. We discussed a post-screening interview with a visiting guest."Who will moderate?" I asked, and was told - Chris Phipps. ;I then asked who Chris Phipps was and was told - "Oh, he's very good." They were right, Chris is not just a very good moderator, he is exceptional, as was proved again this year when he chaired a discussion with myself, my partner Dick Clement and director David Batty following a showing of our latest film My Generation. ;He's exceptional, not just because he does his homework, which is easier these days if you plunder Wikipedia, but because he cares so much about his subject, especially if it involves film or music. ;Those twin passions are certainly the glue that fortifies our friendship. We usually end up after a couple of drinks in intense discussions, especially involving music trivia. I won't try to compete with Chris on this, he's just too clued in. ;Yes, I could name the first Kinks' single but Chris could name every track on their debut album. Yes, I know the Proclaimers were the Scottish Everly Brothers but he probably knows where their births are registered. After all he was a producer of the seminal, coolest of cool rock shows The Tube. Apart from that show he has always had a great respect and affection for North Eastern culture and heritage.; A true Northern soul - it always surprises me that he has a Brummie accent. ;Chris's book is suffused with his customary wit, wisdom and humour. ;And if Chris Phipps is dropping names, these are names really worth dropping. ;Ian La Frenais

Book SynopsisEvery orchestra in the world oscillates between crisis and survival. This perpetual movement makes innovation, both in organizational form and in artistic product, vital to the sustainability of the symphony orchestra. Based on case study research in Flanders, Amsterdam and London, this book reflects on the sustainability crisis of the orchestra by framing it as a legitimacy crisis that affects both the orchestraâs artistic and organizational identity. The aim of this book is to explore the dynamics between various and often conflicting factors in the orchestraâs quest for survival, and to show how these organizational dynamics relate to the orchestraâs repertoire. By highlighting the importance of every organizationâs specific environment to which it needs to adapt, this book illustrates that the orchestra field is not a field that relies on best practices. The book reflects on conventional as well as innovative orchestra models, making the comparative point of view r

Book SynopsisThis book explores the fundamentals of popular music performance for students in contemporary music institutions. Drawing on the insights of performance practice research, it discusses the unwritten rules of performances in popular music, what it takes to create a memorable performance, and live popular music as a creative industry. The authors offer a practical overview of topics ranging from rehearsals to stagecraft, and what to do when things go wrong. Chapters on promotion, recordings, and the music industry place performance in the context of building a career. Performing Popular Music introduces aspiring musicians to the elements of crafting compelling performances and succeeding in the world of today's popular music.Trade Review"Cashman and Garrido’s accessible book provides an absolutely first rate overview of all things related to the global live music industry. Based on their own extensive experience and interviews with live music stakeholders, the authors take the reader on a progressive journey through a multitude of factors related to this overlooked industry, ranging from experiencing live performance, to ‘types’ of performance, to advice on rehearsal and practice, to contracts and logistics, to earning a living from and monetising the industry. Written in jargon free language and crammed full of useful advice, the book is an ideal starting point for both the undergraduate student or any practitioner interested in musical performance Although not a research text in the traditional sense, the book does provide many areas for consideration, such as methods of stage communication, attracting audiences, rehearsal methodologies, stage showmanship and the mechanics of ‘experience’, all of which are fascinating points of discussion and analysis. I would imagine this book would be a really useful course text for all institutions teaching popular music performance and I certainly recommend it."—Paul Carr, Professor of Popular Music, University of South Wales"Never has the value of an engaged performance become more evident than during the social isolation enforced on much of the world during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. Musicians quickly adapted where they could to the online environment, where the virtual barrier of the computer screen meant that knowledge and skill in creating an evocative and affective performance were never more crucial. And while the live music industry itself struggled, understanding the workings of the industry and knowing how to monetise performances became all the more essential. The release of Cashman and Garrido’s overview of the live music industry and how to successfully navigate it predates the pandemic by only months, and it is testament to the book's thoroughness and breadth that it is as relevant to the live music industry now as it was then, if not more. Covering topics from performance and stagecraft, from preparation to delivery, technology and the business of music, it is packed with useful and accessible information for not only the aspiring contemporary music student, but any music practitioner seeking to hone their skillset. I highly recommend it as a set text for any higher education institution in which popular music performance is studied."—Donna Weston, Associate Professor and Head of Popular Music, Queensland Conservatorium, Griffith University, Australia"Written in a relaxed, informal manner and drawing upon the experiences of the authors and a number of industry professionals, the book not only explores the mindsets of popular musicians when it comes to creating successful performances, but also those of jazz and classical musicians too. Touching upon areas such as individual and group rehearsal techniques, constructing dynamically effective setlists, engaging a band manager and navigating the various roles of musicians within ensembles, the various challenges and necessary skillsets are all outlined very well. ... The last chapter of the book could be considered compulsory reading for those looking to undertake a career in music. Those who are finding their feet in the industry will find this book informative and insightful, whilst those with more experience will enjoy the philosophical and psychological nuggets of wisdom with regard to live performance."—Jenna Doyle, IASPM JournalTable of ContentsIntroduction Section 1 - Creating Memorable Performances 1.
