Music

Making music has rarely been more in vogue in the UK than it is at the moment. This situation is the result of a vibrant domestic scene that includes ‘real’ bands like Kaiser Chiefs, Arctic Monkeys and Franz Ferdinand, all of whom are helping to inspire a new generation of young people to pick up instruments and start bands.

At the other end of the spectrum, older players are coming back to playing music in droves. Brands like Paul Reed Smith, Martin and Taylor guitars have a customer base largely made up of wealthy professionals with high disposable income. And initiatives like the Music Industry Association’s high profile Weekend Warriors campaign are also encouraging mature musicians back into the fold.

The Show 

 

Music Live   Music Live is the UK’s largest music-making event and brings together musicians of all types (guitarists, bass players, keyboard players, drummers and ‘traditional’ instrumentalists) and features more music equipment and seminar content than any other UK show. Over the last two years, the show has also increasingly attracted the patronage of big-name artists including members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Faithless, the Damned and Slayer, variously involved in live performance and seminars.
