On Sunday 31 August from midday, we're bringing our ever-popular Musicians' Masterclass to The Hive in Worcester - putting together a panel of industry experts to answer those all important questions, such as:

• How do I get signed?
• Is there an easy way to land gigs in other areas?
• How do I build a fanbase?
• How do you write a number one song?
• What's the best way to sell your music?

This is a FREE seated event, where - upon application for tickets - people are encouraged to submit a question to the panel to address. A variety of these will be discussed at the event, before opening the floor up for questions (in a style similar to that of the 大象传媒's Question Time). This will be recorded for broadcast and transmitted over a number of weeks.
