Louise Dodgson, Unsigned Guide editor, said: ‘We are regularly on the receiving end of enquiries from bands and musicians wanting to make a living from their craft, asking how they can be supported financially.

‘So we set about gathering this info together to make sure artists are aware of the options and support out there that they can tap into.’
