- Double-weighted statement
- This book is a primary source research-driven, and lengthy monograph at 230 000 words, that revisits, challenges and extends considerably existing accounts of Irish popular music; as well as prompting radical reconsideration of the broader narrative of popular music and its relationship to politics in the 1960s. It contains a wealth of original material and analysis, including unearthing seminal figures who have hitherto been neglected and the music business in Belfast’s relationship to the international trends and the NI State. In peer review, it was described as a landmark contribution to popular music history.
