Distribution for folk indie cds is pretty grim now as retail outlets are becoming extinct. Beware of all consignment deals - many do not pay, but I must say Sidestreet is reputable. Festival distribution will want many promo cds and for the most part all the cds you sell them are on consignment. You may need to bug them for payment. Frankly, it appears to me they don't sell a lot of product- but who does anymore? CD Baby can get you on online downloads, but there are royalty issues for material that is copyrighted- so watch out.
