Title: Music Shops and the Music Trade in Georgian Bath
Abstract: This article reviews the history of the music trade in Bath in the Georgian period, and in particular the businesses of Thomas Underwood, Benjamin Milgrove and Andrew and John David Loder. Most music shop owners were also active as musicians and the shops were vital as places for the introduction and circulation of music and instruments, the finding of teachers, and the purchase of tickets for forthcoming musical events. Music shops even served as ad hoc venues for performance. Matthew Spring read music and history at Keele University and at Magdalen College, Oxford, where he completed his D.Phil on the lute, and went on to study lute at the Royal College of Music. He is a senior lecturer at Bath Spa University, and formerly he taught at London Guildhall University, where he held a Leverhulme Research Fellowship, and at Birmingham University. His ‘History of the Lute in Britain’ was published in 2001, and his edition of the Balcarres Manuscript was published in 2010. He performs with a number of Early Music ensembles and has made a large number of recordings. 16 Matthew Spring
