We love to work for artists that we think will impact on people’s lives and we have an in-depth knowledge and appreciation of traditional, folk and roots music from the grassroots to the biggest names in the industry. Our goal with promotional mailing is to introduce your music to the movers and shakers within the music Industry. This can lead to radio play, CD reviews, blog posts, concert and festival bookings and online sales.

WHAT WE DO? 
We will act as the conduit between artists and media, venues, festivals and press coverage to bridge the gap and offer our wealth of experience and contacts in the music industry to guide artists through the minefield of press exposure and help to maximise on the outcome of same.

Your package will be sent to our contact list of independent media outlets in the regions of your choice. These outlets will include radio, print, festivals, venues and online media. We have spent years developing and updating our database of contacts that are relevant to the traditional and folk music sector. We have worked with these people before and have established our reputation as a company that promotes the very best in traditional, folk and roots music. We also maintain a list of today’s top music blogs and part of our campaign involves targeted emails to those blogs requesting coverage.

Our service after your CD is mailed can last up to 4-6 weeks. We can follow up via email or phone call with all the contacts for feedback, reviews or extra plays. Follow up and feedback can often stop a project/talent in its tracks, but with our trusted and valued contacts and experience, we can make this an enjoyable part of the journey for you.
