MUSIC fans Angela Roberts and Neil Schofield are banging the drum for their new business.

The pair have realised their lifetime's dream of owning a music shop thanks to a business start-up scheme.

WIth advice from Pendle Enterprise Trust under the FirmBase programme they have now launched "Uncle Neil's Music Store" in Colne.

"FirmBase gave us the impetus to launch the business and realise our dreams,": said Angela.

"I found the business training particularly useful. It is quite scary because it opens your eyes to some of the things that can go wrong but it also teaches you the skills you need to deal with potential problems."
