Abstract
Despite arriving at the conference venue on time, I still managed to make it into the seminar room 10 minutes late (for which my apologies to the first speaker, Dave Laing). Mr Laing's paper Musique sans frontiers? was an apt opener for the conference, surveying the shifting influence of Anglo-American rock on European national charts, and ending with a note of optimism for the future of Eurooriginated music. Hmm. A real interesting paper. No way could the rest be really interesting too. Ah, but they were, and more. Mike Jones, with Big in Germany brought a professional musician's perspective to issues of cultural imperialism, with the experience of being in a band (Latin Quarter) largely ignored in the UK but, er, big in Germany. The third of the trio of pre-tea presentations was Michael Christianen's meticulous exploration of channels of international music distribution in the Netherlands, Congested Conduits.
