As a description of the affiliations of modern Scottish popular music, this is a persuasive and coherent collection of essays."—Jane Pettegree, Soundyngs: Conversations on the History of Scottish Music"Simon Frith, Martin Cloonan and John Williamson, as well as contributing to the book themselves, have edited a fascinating and comprehensive introduction to the history, politics and culture of popular music in Scotland. In a series of essays and interviews which are organised into three themes, Histories; Politics and Policies; and Futures and Imaginings, they lay out an examination of Scotland’s popular music within the context of Scotland being both a nation but also a part of the UK, and how that impacts on the complexity of our cultural identity, the history, and the effects of the power structures in music. Made in Scotland: Studies in Popular Music is a must have reference book for anyone interested in popular music, here in Scotland and beyond."—Sheena Macdonald, The Drouth
