Sounds a bit like an academic paper? Well, sort of.
Brian Ward is Professor in American Studies at Northumbria University. His research
interests include the modern US South, civil rights and Anglo-American cultural
relations. A published author and contributor of scholarly articles to numerous
publications including Just My Soul
Responding: Rhythm and Blues, Black Consciousness and Race Relations, future
books will examine workers’ lives in the early US recording industry and the
relationship between the Beatles and the US South.
Northumbria University’s current Public Lecture series
concludes with Professor Ward asking the question – ‘What is Southern about the
Music of the US South?’ on Monday 18 January at City Campus East. Having heard
Ward lecture on similar topics this event comes highly recommended. Open to the
public, free admission, with a six o’clock start the lecture will last one hour.
City Campus East is the eye-catching building on the site of the old Manors Goods Yard just out of
Newcastle city centre and directly across the road from Manors Metro Station.
Head for Lecture Theatre 002 in the Business and Law Building.
