Oh! I've just realised today is official publication day for my book...
I've yet to see one in the wild but @sallysharp has sent me proof it does actually exist. All she had to do was say some nice words about it on the back cover...
Obligatory link:
bloomsbury.com/uk/corporate-……
The back cover is worth sharing too. Featuring some very lovely words from people whose work & ideas chime closely with the book.
Thanks to @angelamcrobbie, @sallysharp, Keith Negus, Vicki Mayer, @WalravenMaarten (@musicxnetwork) & Brodie Conley (Center for Music Ecosystems)!
