Digging through what might seem the dullest of material-policy statements, parliamentary enquiries, bureaucratic reports - Martin Cloonan unearths the riveting story of how popular music moved from the margins of government thinking about youth problems and social disorder to a central place in economic strategy. Cloonan throws new light on the politics of culture and his book is a major contribution to our understanding of music as a 'creative industry'.'
