Your Grandma Betsy may have great advice to give you about love, but that doesn’t mean she’s the only source of guidance. You might be able to find love advice in some unexpected ways, like, oh I don’t know…listening to The Beatles. This legendary music group may be best known for bowl haircuts and catchy rhythms, but their songs actually have a much deeper implication. Don’t believe me? All you have to do is look at the titles. Here are six lessons in love from The Beatles that you could use to better you relationships.

“I Want to Hold Your Hand”

If you like a girl and you can’t muster up the courage to ask her out, just say “I want to hold your hand.” Is it cheesy? Yes. Will it work? Probably not. Nevertheless, you may come across that one girl that is floored by your honesty and totally makes out with you there on the spot. The chances of that happening are low, but it’s gotta be worth a shot – right?

Performing at a great venue is extremely important for any band. Before you headline Glastonbury or fill the O2, you need to build a following and one of the best ways to do this is to start performing gigs at local venues that are popular and great for holding music events. Below are a few tips to consider when choosing the right venue for your music event, and what to do afterwards:

Take a look around

It is essential to search around and find the right venue for your band. There’s no point approaching small folk venues if you’re a heavy metal hip-hop crossover! Take a look around your town and city and ask people in the know if they can recommend venues that might want to hear your band and put you on their stage. When you’ve done this, you can start approaching venues and decide who to will host your event.

Every few years there is a singer or a band which taps into the public feeling perfectly and becomes an icon of the era. It’s impossible to think of the grunge movement of the early 1990s without thinking of Nirvana, of Britpop without naming Blur or Oasis, or disco without considering the BeeGees. The first band to have this sort of impact on a global scale was the Beatles, who dominated the charts through the 1960s and added to the Swinging Sixties ethos of the UK during this time.

The Best Music Software and Apps With A Difference

Composing music is something many of us are interested in, but it’s unfortunately not easy for all of us unless we have a band or an orchestra to bring our creations to life, or unless we can play an instrument and our composition only requires one instrument to play. This is then why composing software is so useful as a way to create our own tracks and to hear what they sound like. And in fact the very best software will even allow us to hear what our compositions sound like and export the tracks as MP3s ready to use in games, on websites or as demos. Here are some of the best pieces of software for making your own music.
