PATH Saxophonist, Ronnie Scott, once said of guitarist Wes Montgomery: ‘He played impossib le things on the guitar because it was never pointed out to him that they were impossible.’ Pathway s to Music aims to do just that – prov e that it’s far from impossible to establish a career with in the music industry.

Scotland is home to an extremely vibrant and lively music scene. It has been the birthplace of bands and artists including Biffy Clyro , Mogwai, KT Tunstall and Paolo Nuti ni (to name a few).

However, being in a band or making it as a solo artist is not the be all and end all of musical careers. Scotland also plays host to some of the biggest music festi vals, like T in The Park and RockNess, as well as numerous reco rding studios, dedicated publications and popular radio stations . . . the range of professional s involved is extremely diverse.
