New Research Project

The Popular Music Industry in Britain

Terry Gourvish and Richard Coopey have begin work on an ESRC-supported research project on ‘Enterprise and Creativity: the British Popular Music Industry, 1950-75’. The project aims to provide the first scholarly business history inquiry into the development of entrepreneurship in the British popular music industry, during its formative phase between 1950 and 1975.

Kevin Tennent was appointed as a research officer in January 2009.
