The union has been at the centre of all major agreements covering the employment of musicians across the UK's music industries for this period and its role to date has largely been ignored by historians of the music profession, the music industries and trade unions. This book remedies that oversight, providing fresh insight to musicians' working lives, the industries in which they work and wider British social life. It explores a history of confrontation, coercion and compromise played out across the nation's studios, performance spaces and airwaves. 606 $aMusicians$xLabor unions$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01030857 606 $aMusicians$xLabor unions$zGreat Britain 607 $aGreat Britain$2fast 610 $aBBC. 610 $aMusic Industries. 610 $aMusic Profession. 610 $aMusicians. 610 $aMusicians' Union. 610 $aOrchestras. 610 $aPhonographic Performance Limited (PPL). 615 7$aMusicians$xLabor unions. 615 7$aMusicians$xLabor unions 676 $a331.88/11780941 700 $aWilliamson$b John$f1949-$0107218 702 $aCloonan$b Martin 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792576603321 996 $aPlayers' work time$93741106 997 $aUNINA
