Despite recent interest in music-making in the so-called 'provinces', the idea still lingers that music-making outside London was small in scale, second-rate, and behind the times. However, in Newcastle upon Tyne, the presence of a nationally known musician, Charles Avison (1709-1770), prompts a reassessment of how far this idea is still tenable. This book uses Charles Avison's career as an opportunity to explore the ways in which the musical culture in the north-east region interacted with, and influenced, musical culture elsewhere.
