New Deal for Musicians
There is another option for all you hard-working musicians out there that dont have time to get Mcdonald's jobs !
I (Vuz, VmanEvents) went on the course below and can reccommend it highly. You receive a small supplement on top of Job Seekers Allowance, and you can still spend your time learning about the music industry, or playing music.
More importantly, you will be sat face to face with people that know about all aspects of the industry, and can guide you down whatever path you want to take.
