Could you write a top ten hit?
 I’m not sure if it’s because people have a very low opinion of the charts, or a high opinion of their own talent, but according to a recent survey by Oxfam, one in three people believe they could write their own chart-topping hit.
The survey of more than 2,000 music lovers across the UK found that music, especially live music, is more popular than ever, on both sides of the stage. Approximately 37 per cent of us attend at least one gig a month, and we have over 5 million musicians to choose from!
It is no longer a desire to live like the rich and famous that motivates these musicians, with only 4 per cent believing that they will be able to make a full-time living out of music, and only 1 per cent intending to become famous.
If you fancy catching some of these potential superstars before they hit the mainstream then remember to get down to your local Oxjam gig. There are over 1,000 events, big and small, happening throughout October and there is music to suit all tastes. You never know, you may just witness the next Chris Martin or Kurt Cobain in the making.
Let us know what you think: could you or any of your friends make the top 40?
