Hi

I'm wanting to start promoting my band and gigging it in Spain, and also Europe. But There don't seem to be many contacts here, agents and the like. Am I just looking in the wrong place?

    Hi Jane,

    The Unsigned Guide directory only covers the UK, as it states on our website.

    Best, Louise

    Hi thanks.

    Why does it have an overseas category then?

    Thanks for your interest in Hookstick ,

    This is predominantly for our Industry Seminars & Conventions section which includes the likes of South By South West, CMJ, Canadian Music Week and many other specialist music conferences based outside the UK.

    Also, can you tell me where this is stated, so I can read the context
    and background to the statement?

    Thank you.

    HI Jane,

    Can you elaborate on what you mean please? Where what is stated? That the directory covers the UK?

    Best, Louise

    Hello Louise,

    Not to worry.

    I'm just looking through your site in some detail. It's quite
    informative, but there are some awkward things about it.

    I spent some time emailing contacts a month or so ago, managers in
    particular, and some stated in their info that they had a particular
    market in Europe. Because of that I had in fact to the conclusion that
    there was some European expertise available. Which there is. However
    there's no general search so I can't find it without opening every
    single entry.

    It's a bit of a lost resource. Being a UK artist doesn't necessarily
    mean you want to restrict your performances to the UK even if you use UK
    based agents.

    I like your layout and interface, but it's a shame it's not more subtle
    as there's so much data there.

    Do you have a European equivalent?

    Hi Jane,

    We do understand that bands should not have to be limited to the UK, however that is the territory our directory specialises in. I'm afraid we are only a tiny team of 3 staff and it takes all our time keeping a UK directory as up to date as possible, so we have not expanded this into further territories. Showcase Directory covers some European contacts I believe.

    Best, Louise

    I hadn't realised you were so small,

    You do very well in that case!

    Best wishes,
