- Summary
- "Pop music 'stars' in many of the most exciting and successful of British films from Performance to Trainspotting, and from A Hard Day's Night to Human Traffic. Other films using pop music might be more obscure but include many demonstrating a boldness and imagination rarely matched in other areas of British cinema." "Pop artists - David Bowie, Cliff Richard, The Spice Girls, Patsy Kensit and The Sex Pistols, amongst a host of others - could be said to be captured at their most iconic on celluloid. And of course there are the rare but prized cameos from a huge variety of other musicians, with their songs to be found in the most unexpected of places." "This book tells the story and records the facts of the pop-film relationship decade by decade." "For researchers and the curious alike this is an easy reference source. It represents both a history of pop music in British cinema and a mine of pub trivia questions for music and film buffs of all descriptions."--Jacket.
