Just
for the Love It celebrates the musicians and bands who are such a part of
Penang’s rich musical heritage and highlights how this music has been so integrally
woven into the wider tapestry of Penang’s growth. It tells of the factors that
influenced the popularisation of music in the 1930s to1960s, including the role
of radio, cinema, TV, venues, commerce and fashions. Vibrantly illustrated,
beautifully designed with a free Cd, Just for the Love of It presents this
fascinating story of Penang in a creative, lively and utterly engaging style.
