They often have to trek off to London to find someone to represent them.

I have no idea whether that’s accurate or not but I was reminded of it when I read this from John Mostyn:

I am going to hold a free workshop on Tuesday 3rd July 2012 to take a look at how people in Birmingham’s music history have made a successful living, and how those aspiring to do that now might also be able to achieve similar successes. I will share some of my stories and I would like aspiring managers and self-managed artists to come and share with me what they feel are the gaps in their knowledge that they are facing today. This initial workshop will help direct future Managing Music seminars.

Sounds very worthwhile to me. Click through to John’s blog for info about how to take part.
