Other Voices: Hidden Histories of Liverpool's Popular Music Scenes, 1930s-1970s

 


At times it appears that a whole industry exists to perpetuate the myth of origin of the Beatles. Brocken argues that the music history of the Liverpool in which the Beatles grew and then departed is not fully represented. Other Voices presents a history of the disparate and now partially hidden musical strands that contributed to Liverpool's musical countenance. It is also a critique of Beatles-related institutionalized popular music mythology. By addressing such 'scenes' as those involving dance bands, traditional jazz, folk music, country and western, and rhythm and blues, together with a consideration of partially hidden key places and individuals, and Liverpool's first 'real' record label, an assemblage of 'other voices' bears witness to an 'other', seldom discussed, Liverpool.
