While doing a bit of online searching for possible summer student internships for myself, I came across this very interesting PHD studentship from the University of the West of England.
It’s offering a part-time PhD Studentship in Popular Music and Everyday Life as part of the Bristol Live Independent Music Archive Project (BLIMA) which was set up to ‘compile an archive of the city of Bristol’s live independent music scene, from 1950 to the present’. The PhD studentship comprises of ‘an annual bursary of £3,000 plus tuition fees paid for up to five years’.
Wouldn’t it be fantastic to set a similar thing up focusing on Dublin? I wonder who would be interested in funding it: IMRO, Hot Press, The Arts Council, Project Arts Centre, U2 and the boys?
