Venue Directories

I am currently engaged in trying to find venues for a band (folk) who have a fair following already. I have Direct Roots to hand but wondered if there were any other directories out there, to buy, which listed theatres, art centres, music societies etc - or is it just a matter of spending hours and hours on the net searching likely places out?

Sorry - should perhaps have mentioned, I'm in the UK. Thanks.

Do you know of the theatre "Bible" called "CONTACTS" ? Published annually in October by The Spotlight (ISBN 0-9539210-4-2) it costs 10.99 - I've seen it stocked in some bookshops or you can get it direct from Spotlight (Tel. 020-7437 7631) - and kept in larger public libraries, too.

It has full contact details for all UK Arts Centres, Community Theatres, Theatres including categories for Fringe, Provincial and Rep. Also contacts for anything and everything else you might be interested in (e.g. publicity, radio stations, recording studios, rehearsal rooms). Well worth the money.

All good wishes,
