Which is basically like speed-dating for musicians. You put your hand up and say you need something (new band member, producer, manager, video director etc etc) and then, the peeps that do what you need raise there hands. Then you make beautiful (metaphorical) musical babies.<\/p>\n MUSICIANS ADVICE FAIR<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 A freshers fair, for musicians. There\u2019ll be loads of musician helping entities setting up stall before and after the workshop.
