FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Sounds Irish, Acts Global critically examines both the history of Irelands popular music industry as well as the current music scene in the country. By placing recent industry developments in the context of that history, the authors present a new way of examining any nation states music industry - to understand the industry, the local scene must be examined. This approach highlights the multiple and changing ways by which the local scene prepares artists for both domestic and international success. In Irelands case the scene, with its supportive network of friends, families and fans, has developed the artists who then sign with the major transnational music firms. This book is of interest to business students as well as popular music scholars in addition to non-academic readers.

This exciting book does more than simply recite the myth that Irelands popular music consistently "punches above its weight;" rather, it carefully critiques this tired cliché to reveal the often-overlooked personnel, social networks, and (invisible) support infrastructures that have empowered Irish artists to achieve such remarkable successes on the global stage. Áine Mangaoang, University of Oslo, author of Dangerous Mediations: Pop Music in a Philippine Prison Video and co-editor of Made in Ireland: Studies in Popular MusicMixing original interviews with meticulous research, the book offers new accounts of the evolution - and enduring success - of some of Irelands key figures, such as U2 and Enya, addressing critical points in their careers, and probing the role played by managers, marketing and media in the making of musical acts. The book will be a highly valuable resource for anyone interested in modern Ireland, popular music, and the creative industries.Sean Campbell, author of Irish Blood, English Heart: Second-Generation Irish Musicians in EnglandThe history of Irish popular music is slowly being written but so far, most work has focussed on the performers and the front end of the business. As Murphy and Rogers have done an invaluable job in both theorising the structures that support the music industry in a small country, and, with in-depth case studies, of showing how it actually worked at a granular level: how the deals were made, who spoke to who and when. This book will obviously be of huge interest to anyone with more than a passing interest in Irish popular music, but also to those engaged in the music business in the former peripheries of a now thoroughly globalised industry.Stan Erraught, Lecturer in Music Management, Popular Music and Aesthetics, University of LeedsThis book is impressive in scope, charting the development and evolution of the Irish popular music industries and their interrelationship with the global music industries from the 1900s to the current context. The structure is clever, each chapter referencing key forces and individuals to frame the history of the Irish music industries, enabling the story to unfold and be told in a very compelling way. The narrative is well-informed and well-researched, and the tone is engaging and accessible.Eileen Hogan, Lecturer in Social Policy, School of Applied Social Studies, University College CorkThis look into the art world of Irish music will change the way scholars examine popular music going forward because it explores the power relationships between artists, industry, songwriters, and governments.David Arditi, Associate Professor of Sociology, University of Texas at ArlingtonMurphy & Rogers detail the forces and individuals who helped bring about some of Irelands biggest acts. The book is therefore a celebration and recognition of the ecosystem, communities, and friendships that surrounded these successes and the hard work, tensions and challenges they collectively overcame.Orla Byrne, Assistant Professor Entrepreneurship, College of Business, University College DublinIlluminating study about the success of Irish music in the global music scene. This erudite analysis of major Irish acts through the lens of theoretical debate, demonstrates the innovative ways to breakthrough into the global music business, and opens up a debate into how we can preserve local music when major music corporations dominate.Dr Hyojung Sun, Lecturer in the Business of Creative and Cultural Industries School of Arts and Creative Technologies, University of York Details ISBN1781797803 Author Jim Rogers Publisher Equinox Publishing Ltd Year 2023 ISBN-13 9781781797808 Format Paperback Publication Date 2023-08-01 Imprint Equinox Publishing Ltd Subtitle Explaining the Success of Irelands Popular Music Industry Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom AU Release Date 2023-08-01 NZ Release Date 2023-08-01 UK Release Date 2023-08-01 ISBN-10 1781797803 Series Music Industry Studies Audience General Pages 228 DEWEY 338.477809415 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
