What's wrong with the old fashioned way?
Find musicians to collaborate with - it sounds easy, but it can be a long and difficult task. When you start a band or join a band, you will be forgiven for thinking that it’s almost impossible to find musicians with the right attitude, the right ability, the right gear, the right age, the right availability in the right genre - all in the right place!
Sourcing musicians for your studio recording can be just as difficult. To achieve a pro recording you have to make a band work - you need the right band mix. Countless sessions have not achieved their full potential simply because members of the band wanted different things - musicians wanted their own vision fulfilled.
Of course, when you’re looking for a band it’s hard enough to find a band, but bands looking for you are having the same problems!
The music industry has always suffered these problems - until now
Having an imperfect bandmix would seem to be ‘just the way it is’ with careers in music...but not any longer...Whether you are starting a band or want to join a band, Musical Exchanges’ ground-breaking MX Recruit is for you. Discovering local bands, aiming for a professional recording career or trying to find a player available for a one-off gig it couldn't be easier!
And don’t forget - your own ad in Musical Exchanges' MX Recruit means that a band looking for you has a much better chance of finding you.

Birmingham has always been a musically innovative area playing host to a diverse and vibrant musical community. The Brum Beat sound of the 60’s went on to dominate the charts well into the 70’s. Bands like The Spencer Davis Group, The Idle Race, The Moody Blues and The Move all coming from the ‘Second City’. Often cited as the birthplace of heavy metal the industrial history of the area leant itself perfectly to the genre of music that gave us Black Sabbath, Judas Priest.
The 70’s proved to be a very productive time for the area with The Move morphing into The Electric Light Orchestra and Wizzard. Birmingham’s multi cultural influence came to the fore with the introduction of Reggae and Ska.
Into the 80’s Birmingham, again, was at the forefront of the ‘New Romantic’ movement with major bands emerging like Duran Duran and Dexy’s Midnight Runners. Later that decade saw Musical Youth, UB40, Pato Benton and The Beat.
The Charlatans, Pop will eat itself and Ocean Colour Scene also emerged all finding chart success and all from Birmingham and surrounding areas.
Birmingham was also leading the way in the 90’s with electronic music, garage and Hip Hop artists emerging like Bentley Rhythm Aces, Electribe 101 and The Streets.
Birmingham also has a thriving Jazz scene with many pubs and clubs hosting regular jazz nights. Andy Hamilton and King Pleasure & The Biscuit Boys and Soweto Kinch all closely associated with the City.
