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 making a living from music is now a bit of a struggle (to say the least!) we will endeavour to promote and give priority to events where performing artists are receiving an appropriate fee or mutually agreed arrangement for their services. Rates are obviously private negotiations between the parties involved, but if you need guidelines on appropriate payment, you may find that the Musicians Union website is helpful.
