ENTREPRENEUR Steve Reid is hoping to put Burnley on the music map this year.

Steve has launched his own production company and studio in the town to put together tunes ranging from advertising jingles to pop songs.

It has already produced an anthem for Bolton Wanderers for the opening of the club's new stadium.

"East Lancashire's central location means it is an ideal place for a record production company," said Steve.

His The Music Planet business has been backed under ELTEC's FirmBase scheme to help start-up businesses.

"Our overheads are a lot lower than London studios and we can offer the same service and same production standards for less."
