WHAT WE DO
Music Aid provides free support, promotion, publicity and co branding for many music related projects, including educational projects, charities and benefit CDs and concerts. It makes its expertise and contacts available completely free of charge to genuine and bone fide music related charities, fund raisers and organizations and offers promotional services and co branding of events, cds and projects with the Music Aid logo and image. No money is received by Music Aid for this work and support. Music Aid also supports and provides aid to people wishing to enter the music industry through initiatives such as The International Music Awards - the world's biggest music awards event. Music Aid is administered by, and the website is maintained by, a team of Online Volunteers from all over the world who donate their time and talent because they believe in the Music Aid vision. 

HOW MUSIC AID STARTED
Music Aid was launched in London, England, in 1998 at the "Art of Music" Festival. This seven day event took over the entire third floor of the huge Whitley's complex in Central London with art exhibits, live music and dance and it was attended by over 100,000 people. The festival was supported by many well known names from the worlds of music, art and film including Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood, TV personality and artist Rolf Harris and Sliding Doors film director and actor Peter Howitt. This event holds the record for the largest exhibition of music related art ever staged and included works by Andy Warhol, John Lennon, Peter Max and others as well as artifacts and signed guitars and album covers from many famous names including Paul McCartney, John Lee Hooker, Oasis and Bono. Funds raised at this event went to fund schooling for poor village children in SE Asia. In 2000 Music Aid went global by becoming the United Nations UNV music partner.
