MUSIC NEWS Scotland

SCOTLAND'S MUSIC PAPER - and it's Free!

About Me



Hi folks!
MUSIC NEWS Scotland is a free monthly newspaper which covers the whole Scottish music scene. Now in our 6th year MNS's circulation is 15 000 copies, and with an average of 3 readers per issue that's 45 000 pairs of eyes scanning our pages every time! MNS is distributed to over 250 stockists throughout Scotland - these include venues, music shops, colleges, universities, cafes, pubs and libraries.

MUSIC NEWS Scotland supports all Scottish bands and performers no matter what style of music you're involved in. Our aim is to help raise the profile of music in Scotland, circulate industry news and to let all musicians in Scotland communicate across all genres. To help achieve this copies are also sent to key industry contacts throughout the UK

Cheers,
The MNS team!
