Music Tank

About Us

MusicTank is one of University of Westminster's sector-based Knowledge and Business Development Networks. Launched in 2003, MusicTank's remit was to establish itself as a business development network for the UK music industry - an independent body set up to engage with industry, innovation and change across the music business.

As music business becomes more competitive and entry level continues to get lower through technological development, there is a need for thorough, cutting edge professional expertise. The University's commercial and intellectual neutrality is a critical factor in the creation and sustainability of a 'knowledge' network that encourages adoption of best practice , circulation of innovative ideas, new collaborations and evolution of creative ventures into professional success.

While topics will be visible to all site visitors, discussion threads will only be visible to members, and only members will be able to post comment. Categories cover 'Offered & Wanted' and 'Share It!' in addition to general industry chat and discussion about specific MusicTank events.
