Supported by several different organisations, including Scottish Enterprise Tayside, the event aims to de-mystify the mechanics behind the processes of making and releasing a record.

Participants can expect to get the low-down on the music and creative industries from a comprehensive line up of experts.

There will also be music and software demonstrations from top-level producers, the chance to quiz world-class DJs and tap into the knowledge banks of experienced professionals working at the top of their trade.

For those keen to take things a step further and start up their own music business, Business Gateway staff will man the Business Start-up booth to offer advice and information.

Soma Records staff will be available to answer any questions about the company.

Non-musicians will be shown how a career in the industry is possible through music photography, artist management, film music and journalism.

The session costs £5, or £1 for students and those on New Deal.
