“The best investment we could make for young musicians in this country is giving them the help they need to capitalise on their talents and skills. I'm not thinking so much about courses, but rather people that are experts. All bands have a lawyer, an accountant etc, when they get a certain level of success. The advice you get from those people is priceless. Also advice and encouragement from people who have experience.”

Alex Kapranos, Franz Ferdinand (2004 Mercury Award winners)
