Take it away

If you or someone you know needs a musical instrument - or accessories and maybe tuition - there's a new Arts Council England initiative that could help. You can purchase instruments worth up to £2000 and repay over 9 months without interest, providing you are over 18. And the £2000 can be towards more expensive instruments, too.

This is an ideal opportunity to help young people start a music career, or find the cash if you're short of funds! Check out www.takeitaway.org.uk for details.
