Review: Caledonia to the Capital
I am delighted that my PhD thesis has been reviewed by Jane Pettegree, Lecturer at the University of St Andrews, on Soundyngs, a blog which aims to stimulate research into the history of Scottish music. I’m looking forward to giving a concert and accompanying talk at the University of St Andrews in the autumn!
She writes:
“I was particularly struck by the chapters on Robert Bremner, which took this figure comprehensively out of the shadows and into the spotlight as a cultural agent of considerable importance. Chapter 4 significantly extends what we can say about the entrepreneurial role played by Bremner as a cultural advocate of Scottish music on the wider European and Atlantic stage.”
“Currently this research is not a glossy published book, but it deserves to become one, and even in its format as a dissertation it is a lively and useful read.”
