This book examines regional and rural popular music scenes in Europe, Asia, North America and Australia. The book is divided into four parts.
Part 1 will focus on the spatial aspects of regional popular music scenes and how place and locality inform the perceptions and discourses of those involved in such scenes.
Part 2 focuses on the technologies and forms of distribution whereby regional and rural popular music scenes exist and, in many cases co-exist in forms of trans-local connection with other scenes.
Part 3 considers the importance of collective memory in the way that regional and rural popular music scenes are constructed in both the past and the present.
Part 4 examines themes of industry and policy, in relation to culture and music, as these impact on the nature and identity of rural and regional popular music scenes.
