We have been blessed with many art forms over the ages, from painting and sculpting to theatre and cinema. But music has always had a special place for many people, probably because of how therapeutic it can be. Listening to your favourite tunes when you are feeling down and stressed has been scientifically proven to help improve your mood. What is even better than listening to music is making and producing it, but unfortunately, that is a very difficult industry to get into.

Wind instruments are more complex than you may think. For ages, they have been used to warn people, entertain people, and comfort them. The mechanical aspect of most wind musical instruments is outstanding. You just have to appreciate the engineering and sophistication exhibited by some of the world’s renowned musical instruments.  You probably already know this, but metalheads are the happiest music listeners on the planet, whether a fan of Metallica, Babymetal or Russkaja.

If you have ever had a festival completely ruined because of torrential rain, flooded tents, or even having the headliners cancel due to bad weather, you probably don't want to take that risk again. By choosing to go to a festival in a place where it is usually nice and warm, you can reduce the chances of bad weather spoiling the week of a lifetime. Of course, good weather is never 100% guaranteed, but it at least increases the chances of not needing your wellies and waterproof poncho.

The classic image of the newly-minted rock star, blowing their first million-dollar contract on champagne and fines for trashed hotel rooms, is fast becoming the stuff of legend. As industry watchers have repeatedly announced, the age of the overnight millionaire musician is practically dead. While global music industry revenue has skyrocketed to new heights, reaching a staggering $55 billion in 2019, less and less of that money is actually making its way into the pockets of artists.
