Make Your Mark in Music
Welcome to Make Your Mark in the Music Business. This is a site for those of you who are driven by music or have ideas in music. We’ve got the information you need to help spark ideas and get you thinking.Do you want to be a live music promoter?
Make Your Mark in the Music Business is partnering with live music promoters Curious Generation to find young people (aged 18-30) from across the UK who are looking for support to set up and run a regular, live music night in their home town or city. Read Curious Generation's inspiring story.
We know that there are young people with a keen interest in music who want to create or expand their local music scene but don't have the financial backing, contacts or support to go it alone. Curious Generation want to offer their experience and infrastructure to aspiring young music promoters across the UK.
If you love music, have a genuine interest in the music scene in your area and want more experience of the music industry, you could become one of the next generation of music promoters.
This is an opportunity to run a regular live music event (it could be weekly, fortnightly or monthly) but it is not a full-time job - you can do this in addition to your usual work or study.

Tell us about your music scene!
Make Your Mark in the Music Business have created a music survey in conjunction with the BPI (formally known as the British Phonographic Industry – www.bpi.co.uk) to find out more about the music scene in towns and cities across the UK.The information we get from the survey will feed into a report about the British music scene. We think you're the best people to tell us about what’s happening in your area. If you're in a band, manage a band, studying music or just enjoy live performance, please take a minute to answer any or all of the survey questions.
