For those not in the know, every Tuesday (5-6pm), our resident music experts Chris and Dave make themselves available for pre-arranged online music advice sessions.  To book a slot; simply email using the address below to get your essential hints, tips or advice to help you get on in music. 

If you are a musician planning for future career, or a promoter with questions regarding what to do to put on shows, then fear not as they will be taking time every week to respond to any questions you might have and can even give you a telephone/Skype call for some in-depth chat should you need it.
