Andy in the media

Andy was interviewed as part of a package that The Observer ran (a half-page spread, 25 Feb) on training in the creative industries. Focusing on music it featured interviews with colleagues and students in the Music Department at City; Andy’s comments related to the implications for social representation of workers in the music industry as a result of withdrawal of school funding for music lessons. On the previous Friday Andy was invited by BBC’s flagship news programme Newsnight to appear to discuss recent urban change and transport; however, Andy turned down this opportunity as it was a UCU strike day.
