Abstract

Second tier cities – like Seattle, Liverpool, San Francisco and Manchester – are known as music cities. Abigail Edwards asks if Brighton, a small second tier city in the United Kingdom, demonstrates the characteristics of these other music cities. The diversity of musical genres, rather than a branded and marketed style, poses challenges to a sustainable music branding and marketing in Brighton.
