Well...good news from the off! Met the two targets I set myself in the previous blog! So, I’ve now got the basics of the contracts sorted and have a pretty good idea of what I want on each page of the website. I now need to turn the concepts within the contracts into a legally binding document. For this I will begin by consulting my mentor and having him check it through and will then seek legal advice to ensure it will all stand up in the courtrooms! Then it will be signature time! Can’t wait until this is done and I can get really my teeth into promoting the bands. In relation to the website, I now need to decide on the general concept and aesthetics, let my developer know individual page requirements and it can then begin to be built!

Been spending a lot of time trying to find designers for band T-shirts and album art work. Been using Facebook and other social networking sites to let people know I’m on the hunt and have had some really good responses. I began by getting in contact with friends who I know are into their art and asking if they would like to help out or know anyone who could be interested. I have also joined local art networks and posted on their wall a bit of info on what I’m looking for and leaving my email address. Had a fair few responses, but if anyone reading this would like to get involved or know people who could, leave a message in the comment box below and I will be in touch!

I have also started filling in the forms to register as a business. I thought it may be quite a tricky process, but there’s lots of info on the web from HM Revenue and Customs and business link’s websites. Had it almost completed but will check a few things with my mentor tomorrow before sending the form off. So lot’s to be getting on with at the moment...keep eyes here and on Twitter for more updates soon.
