WORKSHOP<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 You know what these are: several music industry experts share their advice and wisdom, you take a seat and soak it all up.

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 their hands. Then you make beautiful (metaphorical) musical babies.<\/p>\n MUSICIANS ADVICE FAIR<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Like a Freshers Fair, there\u2019ll be loads of musician helping entities setting up stall before and after the workshop.\u00a0This time, it’s our biggest EVER.
