The United Kingdom

The type of community music defined as an ‘active intervention’ can suggest a political, usually left-leaning, flavor to the practice. But the trajectory of the work in the United Kingdom over the last half-century suggests that government policies, rather than politics, have been the driver for the development of much community music work. Moreover, the practice adapts well to frequent changes in such policies. From an original stance of opposition to authority, through to a confidence in its own authoritativeness, the practice's instrumentality and focus on its participants have been key ingredients in helping community music in the United Kingdom to mature as a profession and continue to thrive.

Situated Perspective

In this chapter, we outline an approach to training in community music that is congruent with its pluralistic and diverse character. From the situated perspective of Sage Gateshead, a large music organization in the north of the United Kingdom, we reflect on some of the ways that musicians have developed the skills, knowledge, and attitudes to become effective practitioners of community music. Rooted in a dialogic and democratic pedagogy, the training processes described herein recognize the highly individualized nature of community music practices, and are underpinned by the explicitly humanistic values and attitudes that unite them.

The development of forensic psychiatry provision in Scotland lags behind that in other parts of the United Kingdom. Until recently, there were no medium secure units in the country and mentally disordered offenders (MDOs) requiring such care had to be managed in intensive psychiatric care unit (IPCU) settings. In November 2000, The Orchard Clinic, a medium secure unit sited at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital, was opened. This paper discusses the background to this development, the government policies setting out plans for the care, services and support of MDOs in Scotland, progress and work of the new unit to date and plans for developments in other parts of Scotland.

Contemporary Account

Written in the early summer of 2020 and revised in early autumn, this article provides a contemporary account of how community musicians in the United Kingdom have responded to the challenges of the COVID-19 crisis. With reference to select examples of the work of community musicians, this article seeks to identify the most pressing questions for both practitioners and researchers to consider when developing and evaluating offers of community music in a society that has been changed by COVID-19 and that remains deeply unstable. As societies move into a new relationship with the virus, this article has implications for the response of community musicians to the ongoing challenges they will face as a result of this virus, and in the event of another new disease emerging in the future.

Practical Information

The attention of physiologists has been very much with­ drawn, for the last half century, from the consideration of the different states of the circulating and secreted fluids, in conse­quence of the opinion that the nervous and fibrous or mus­cular systems can afford satisfactory interpretations of the phenomena of living beings; and on account of the disgust produced by the visionary properties and groundless hypo­theses, originating in the humoural doctrines of Galen. But late experiments have manifested, that various things taken into the stomach can be made at pleasure to produce consider­able effects, by impregnating sensibly the blood and urine, as well as the milk, sweat, and perhaps saliva. Further; the fine experiments of Professor Colman have shewn, that the conta­gious glanders may be excited in the ass by the transfusion of the blood of a glandered horse, and the matter from the nose of the glandered ass can produce this disease in the horse or the ass. Hence I apprehend it is reasonable to expect, that the farther investigation of the properties of the animal fluids will afford gratifying instruction to the Researcher in natural science, and important practical information to the Physician. On the present occasion, I desire the honour of communi­cating the knowledge I may have acquired, by investigating the properties of expectorated matter secreted by the bron­chial membrane. The appearances of this substance serve to regulate the judgment of the Physician concerning several dis­eases of the lungs; but especially of that of pulmonary tubercles which yearly destroys 120,000 to 140,000 subjects of the United Kingdom. It is fit that I remark, that I do not notice in this paper the ingenious experiments of several learned Chemists, because by so doing I should be led into a detail of too great extent for my design.

Fiscal Prudence

<p><em>This piece of work seeks to perform detailed review and analysis of those factors that precipitated global financial and economic crises in 2008 with a focus on the United Kingdom economy. Impacts of the crises from both micro and macro economy perspectives are also analysed in conjunction with the sudden change in government policies from less rigid fiscal prudence, price stability, unsupportive employment policies as well as weak financial services supervision to unconventional stiff fiscal and monetary policies as well as hard core financial regulations with a primary aim to cleaning up the economic and the financial mess that characterised the meltdown. To finalise this work, it is concluded that efficiency of policy actions to address the economic menace to a large extent, helped British Economy to get out of the crisis despite that all the measures adopted were not considered to be perfect in its entirety. Other potential areas of study are also identified. </em></p>
