Abstract
The ‘new’ city of Milton Keynes, with its brash reputation as a ‘cultural desert’, was perhaps an unexpected place to find notable creativity, yet an ethnographic study in the 1980s revealed a vast amount of active music-making. The article briefly reviews the findings and considers some of the factors that may – or may not – have been involved, and their interaction with ‘family’ and ‘community’. It also raises the question of how and where one looks for ‘creativity’ – is it partly a matter of the analyst’s perspective?
