- Additional information
- This output is one of the first of its kind as a piece of research-council funded practice-led-research in popular music songwriting. This research was one strand of an AHRC-funded interdisciplinary mixed-methods research project which focused on the three stakeholder groups physically present at music festivals (artist, audience and organiser), and employed a co-productive practice-led approach to bridging the gap between academic, industry and artistic practice. This strand focused on working with artists to explore their relationship to sustainability across their festival performances via carbon tracking and workshopping, and then facilitating creative exchange with festival audiences using songwriting and performance practice. The results of all three strands of the research in the context of the wider research questions are published in the following journal article (Brennan, M.; Connelly, A; Lawrence, G.; Scott, J. C. (2019) Do music festival communities address environmental sustainability and how? : A Scottish case study. Popular Music, Vol. 38, No. 1. Song outputs from the project have been broadcast across the BBC radio network, including on several programmes on BBC Radio 6, as well as on BBC Radio Scotland. Listening figures to these programmes are expected to be over 300,000. 5 songs were premiered in a dialogic performance at Celtic Connections festival 2016 and were recorded and released commercially by Olive Grove records as the Wrack Lines EP. The project received national press. Subsequent engagement with wider communities includes workshops with climate change / sustainability experts and professional musicians at the University of Manchester, Julie's Bicycle at Somerset House - London, Creative Carbon Scotland at Summerhall - Edinburgh and performances at Manchester Museum (Climate Control festival) and Somerset House (Futures and Utopias festival).
