The Contemporary Music Network was founded by Annette Morreau in 1971 and was initially regarded as an experimental scheme to repeat performances of contemporary music in centres throughout Britain. Initial success later led to considerable expansion and development of the scheme.
These files were found amongst the finance records in wrappers marked CMN Box A-J. They contain information about the Contemporary Music Network under the following headings: Concert Returns, 1974-1976; Performance Reports and Groups Toured, 1985-1986; Press and Publicity, 1970s, 1980-1987; Promoters and RAAs [Regional Arts Associations], 1980-1984; and Selection Committee, Performance Reports, Sponsored Evenings and Cancelled Tours, 1986-1987.
