SoundAdviceUK is a new music concept created and run by media, design and creative professionals, musicians, interns and people of all ages. Our aim is to create an inspirational and ethical organisation that supports music of every genre, offers training and work opportunities and becomes a role model for a more socially balanced and creative way to work and live.

We are very professional but very relaxed, encourage participation and offer support and advice to help promote musicians and music. We film and interview unsigned musicians and people in the music industry, gather stories and information for the website and help others do the same.

We film with professionalism and concern for everyone and all participants sign permission forms and approve programmes before they are used.

We work closely with sister project Youth on Youth, which provides media training and support for young people and organisations, who want to use video as a medium for creative empowerment and communication.

We want SoundAdviceUK to be as ethical, “green” and non-corporate as we can make it. We will not knowingly accept donations, advertising, or content from sources that are questionable and our account is with the Co-Operative Bank.

By funding SoundAdviceUK ourselves we can ensure that musicians get the last word and pay nothing and by asking for donations we know that we are not over-charging. If this fails we may use advertising to cover costs, but it will be music-related, reasonably priced and in a discrete section of its own.

We will do our utmost to eliminate sexist, racist, ageist, aggressive and otherwise inappropriate content. We accept that we will make mistakes and ask everyone to let us know if they see anything they object to.
