Thanks for your help on this Karen, Its apache returning the 404. So as i suspected the rewrite rules are not working for some reason. Yes admin is in the urls. Sure the rewrite rules - rewrites www.musicischarity.com to www.musicischarity.com/home so it really should be working off the bat.
Initially i got in touch with my hosting provider to confirm the rewrite rules were working - which they confirmed. Ive just sent an email again.
