University of Leeds
Tuesday, June 19th, 2007

Guest: Sir Peter Blake (tbc)

Papers/presentations/interviews/discussion

Call for Papers: Proposals are invited for this event on the theme of 
Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, released by the Beatles in June 
1967.

Approaches may range from the compositional to the cultural, the 
historical to the sociological, the musicological to the technological. 
They might contemplate the album as a symbol of its time or as an 
artefact that still resonates four decades on, as creative masterpiece 
or as ill-conceived  dalliance with the realm of art.

Submissions (c200-300 words in length) should be made to Simon Warner, 
Director of PopuLUs, the Centre for the Study of the World's Popular 
Musics, University of Leeds, by April 20th, 2007 via: 
s.r.warner at leeds.ac.uk (Please use the subject line: CFP/Sgt Pepper).

Venue: School of Music, University of Leeds

Presented in assoc with PopuLUs, University of Leeds & Critical 
Musicology Forum

Note: The Peter Blake Music Art Gallery in the School of Music features 
the only signed, fine art print of the artist's cover for Sgt Pepper's 
Lonely Hearts Club Band on public display, and will be available to view 
on the day.
