The Musicians’ Union hosts a series of four informal free-to-attend evening roadshows and networking events around Scotland next month (September).

Visiting Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Inverness and Ayr the events will kick off at 7pm feature informal presentations from the Musicians’ Union’s Dave Arcari, Stuart Fleming of the Performing Right Society (PRS) and Duncan McCrone from the Mechanical Copyright Protection Society (MCPS).

The presentations will give an outline of the services provided by these key music industry organisations and how they can help artists and businesses wanting to get a good start in the music business. There will be plenty opportunity to ask questions and the chance to hang around for a beer and a chat.

Both members and non-members of the organisations are welcome at the events which are aimed at anyone interested or starting out in the music business whether a performer, writer or providing a music-related service.
