The Recommended Artist Guide

We are delighted to be preparing to launch a new and exclusive Recommended Artist Guide, an online database of affordable professional artists to book specially by leisure-time music groups and promoters, with the launch of our new website in 2025. 

Replacing our previously printed Selected Artist Guide, Making Music members will be able to book the listed artists at specially quoted fees, while the artists will gain exposure and more opportunities for bookings. 

In the interim we are pleased to release a list of artists, that will be going into the guide upon its launch, in advance for our members to engage. 

The artists on this list can be engaged for concerts up to two years in advance of the date the booking is made. The fees quoted include VAT unless stated otherwise. These fees do not include travel costs. To secure these rates, make sure to tell the artist when booking that you found them in this guide.
