In the City

Autor Paul Du Noyer
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 iun 2010
The definitive book on London music by the widely-acclaimed music writer.

London is the city of immigrant music, West End musicals, Ronnie Scott's jazz club, Abbey Road, mod culture, the Kinks, the Who and the Rolling Stones, all of whom transformed the city and were in turn transformed by it. In this fascinating history of the city's popular music, Paul Du Noyer, critically-acclaimed music writer and founding editor of MOJO, explores London's native talent, from Noël Coward and David Bowie to the Sex Pistols and Amy Winehouse, as well as international artists who were also influenced by the city.

From Elizabethan traders and public execution songs, to The Beggar's Opera and East End music halls, right up to modern day troubadours such as Dizzee Rascal and Lily Allen, this captivating book will appeal to residents, visitors and exiles alike, as well as lovers of popular culture, social history and music. Above all, it is a celebration of the city -- packed with stories of the people and places that have made London the most exciting and innovative musical city on earth.

Recenzii

"A dense and colourful account of one of the most vibrant musical centres in the world, In the City almost puts you on that train to London" Guardian "(An) exhilarating new history of the music that defines the capital" Evening Standard 20090703 "Du Noyer's crowning achievement with In the City, however, is to tie all the strands together ever so neatly without affecting a smug resolution. Its a celebration of the city's music through the centuries, for sure, but its more than just that" Irish Times 20090714 "Du Noyer digs impressively deep for insight ... it evokes London as a place of converged cultures, found sounds and infinite possibilities" Metro 20090715 "Paul Du Noyer's superb new book" Word Magazine
