This is the website for ‘The Musicians’ Union: A Social History’ – an AHRC and ESRC funded research project based in the School of Culture and Creative Arts at the University of Glasgow , which ran between April 2012 and September 2016.
The research culminated with publication of a book, Players’ Work Time: A History of the Musicians’ Union 1893-2013. This is published by Manchester University Press and is available now as a hardback , paperback and eBook .
As part of the work we also organised a month long exhibition at The Mitchell Library in Glasgow (which will visit London and Manchester later in 2016), a two day conference at the same venue on the theme of musical labour and a gig at St.Andrews in the Square.
