"To those of us 'in the know' it seems obvious, but there are some sensationally talented young musicians out there who have not got a clue about marketing, etc. The music business is just that - "music" and "business". You have to embrace both. Some people are desperate to BE musicians but have kids/responsibilities/rent/bills etc. and have got to learn to turn it into a proper job. Thankfully you are helping them to do this." - Geoff Lakeman, acclaimed folk musician

"Full of good advice, written in a friendly and non-patronising way by someone who clearly knows what they're talking about." - Cat McGill, Director of Oxford Folk Festival and Live to Your Living Room.

"This has been written against the gritty backdrop of a grafting musician who has been there, done it and will save you from making those mistakes that only experience can avoid The conversational style of the writing leaves you feeling like you've had an hour with a friend and mentor."
