About the Author
Patrick Dailly studied
at the Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester, England, and was awarded
the Edward Hecht Prize, the International Publishing Company Prize and
the Leo Grindon Prize for Composition. Between 1972 and 1976 he played
in a string of forgotten funky soul bands in the Manchester area, sustained
by the Northern Soul explosion of the 70s. He played keyboards on Major
Lance’s UK tour of 1974. A soul survivor, he was nevertheless hopelessly
unprepared to teach music in comprehensive schools in Manchester and Birmingham.
He joined the staff of Bretton Hall College of the University of Leeds
in 1984. A deep seated socialism and the sense of pleasure at being an
irritant to the establishment led to the introduction of the Popular Music
Studies course there in 1990. Patrick has composed music for a succession
of variable musicals which have enjoyed a wide range of acclaim. (The Robey
Show, 1988; Miller and Me, 1989; Sex, Dreams and Two Reelers, 1992 and
Sweet Miracles, 1999 have all featured at the Edinburgh Festival.)
Patrick welcomes comments on the analyses on this website. No copyright
sources have been used in the compilation of the chapters. All musical
examples have been transcribed by the author.
