Kirsty Corbett speaks exclusively with Gez Addictive, a driving force in Derby’s grassroots music scene for more than 20 years. Gez is the founder of two Derby‑based CICs — FUZZ Music Services, supporting serious upcoming musicians, and AlphaPro Creative, a creative hub on Liversedge Street offering rehearsal rooms, studio spaces, and production facilities for artists, photographers, videographers and more.
Gez talks about the not‑for‑profit work behind both organisations and how they’re helping to grow Derby’s creative community.
He also shares his top three tips for grassroots musicians and bands looking to get noticed and land festival slots this season — a standalone soundbite packed with practical advice.
