I’m Joe Bennett, HoD of Music at Bath Spa. Most of my work is in popular music teaching – songwriting, music production, arranging, entrepreneurial music projects and web publishing.
My interest in popular musicology is mainly from the practitioner’s point of view. My research (and NTF project) is in the teaching & learning of songwriting, and it manifests itself as the UK Songwriting Festival.
I’m hoping the blog will help to bring us together as a community, even though it will also give me one more web-chore in my daily checklist (Facebook, myspace, blogger, fora, email, phone etc).

I teach at the University of Edinburgh and my main research interest concerns the presentation of music on the BBC radio and television. My latest book is a study of The Velvet Underground.
