about 4 months ago, I was invited to give a keynote address at a conference at Leeds Met Uni, run by JAMES - Joint Audio Media Education Services. The gist of my talk ties in very well with today's discussions about Music As Culture, as raised by UB40 and their gig at the Rainbow in Brum tonight.
Here's my talk - feel free to discuss it here, or embed it on your own blog and discuss it there.
