Download or read book West Yorkshire Cinemas and Theatres written by Peter Tuffrey and published by . This book was released on 2013-03 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I n the heavy industrial areas of West Yorkshire, particularly Bradford and Leeds, in the first half of the twentieth century there was a great need for entertainment; it was only natural that the film industry should give rise to purpose-built cinemas across the entire region. Although theaere-going declined with the growth of cinema-going, it is pleasing to note that theater is still very much alive today in a number of the areas covered here. Nobody could have predicted that 'going to the flicks' would be so rapidly superseded by television. Buildings of all sizes and descriptions - some having only existed for a relatively short time - quickly became redundant and have struggled to survive or find an alternative use since. Calling on the photographic archives of the Yorkshire Post, West Yorkshire Cinemas and Theatres presents a lavishly illustrated history of screen and stage in the region.

Download or read book South Yorkshire s Cinemas and Theatres written by Peter Tuffrey and published by . This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Tuffrey is saddened when looking at old, surviving cinema buildings. They have become ugly, disfigured structures, struggling for an alternative use in a street or landscape. Yet, who in the first half of the twentieth century could have predicted that 'going to the flicks' and the theatre would be largely superseded by television? In South Yorkshire, where industry was once rampant, there was a great need for entertainment. Therefore it was only natural that the new film industry should spawn purpose-built cinemas in great numbers across the entire South Yorkshire area. In the late 1950s and early 1960s cinemas and theatres started introducing bingo part-time, and then full-time. For a period this was a moderate success, but not many survive as bingo venues today and full-scale demolition has taken place. A small number of venues have become snooker halls, but conjuring up uses for large buildings is a major problem and continues to be so for those still hanging on to survival. So, arguing that it is fascinating to look back at these old buildings in their prime, Peter is pleased to offer South Yorkshire's Cinemas & Theatres. It will remind older readers of those former halcyon days and give younger ones a reflection of how people once entertained themselves.
Download or read book The History of Live Music in Britain Volume I 1950 1967 written by Simon Frith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The social history of music in Britain since 1950 has long been the subject of nostalgic articles in newspapers and magazines, nostalgic programmes on radio and television and collective memories on music websites, but to date there has been no proper scholarly study. The three volumes of The History of Live Music in Britain address this gap, and do so from the unique perspective of the music promoter: the key theme is the changing nature of the live music industry. The books are focused upon popular music but cover all musical genres and the authors offer new insights into a variety of issues, including changes in musical fashions and tastes; the impact of developing technologies; the balance of power between live and recorded music businesses; the role of the state as regulator and promoter; the effects of demographic and other social changes on music culture; and the continuing importance of do-it-yourself enthusiasts. Drawing on archival research, a wide range of academic and non-academic secondary sources, participant observation and industry interviews, the books are likely to become landmark works within Popular Music Studies and broader cultural history.
