New Deal for Musicians

• 1st Jun 2004

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.

Go and see your local Job Centre for details, or contact Armstrong Learning direct on the website below.
