If you are a festival organiser would like your event featured here, free of charge, please get in touch by using the form on our contact page.
Please note: as we move towards gig and festival listings for 2023, with times likely to be harder than ever before for musicians, we will only be promoting events where performing artists are receiving an appropriate fee or mutually agreed arrangement for their services.
Rates are obviously private negotiations between performers and venues, but if you need guidelines the Musicians Union website is helpful.
