CMEAS has booking opportunities at many British clubs and Arts Council funded venues.
Pubs are the backbone of live music in Britain. Almost every British band of note started in the national pub circuit. CMEAS books and promotes gigs at some of the friendliest, busiest, best ale & food serving jewels of musical iniquity the Isles can offer
Started in 2004, CMEAS is partnering with several local school districts to provide interactive musical workshops with local schools. This program is set to be a significant part of our UK events.
In addition to pub, club, and workshop events, CMEAS has teamed up with a private record label based in Devon that does superb 24 track live recording at the Palladium Club. CMEAS offers a full show recording as part of the UK events.
Fri. May 18th - Sun. June 3rd

If you are a band at home with a solid gig base and want to play abroad, there will probably be a bands abroad that want to play your gigs too. CMEAS can facilitate such international (or national) gig swaps.
Starting in 2005, CMEAS will be creating a video record of the tour so that bands have both a sound and visual record of their trip, and hopefully a work of art that they can use on return to their native countries.
Plans in the works include a recording and site seeing tour in Costa Rica, blues and roots festivals in Romania, a weekend trip to Rio de Janeiro, the International Film Festival in Prague, a tour of Dutch cities, a tour of French vineyard parties, and an island hopping tour of the US and UK Virgin Islands.

The acts for the Spring UK Tour have been selected!! Ebony Tay from Canada and Transport from Australia will join Brother Big Bad from Minneapolis (USA) and Fluttr Effect from Boston (USA) on a 15 day tour around the UK.. For press release click here for poster here and venue handbills here . Venues can download blank handbills <HERE>.

This event was inspired from a tour held in 2006 primarily in the South East of England with the highly competent booking acumen of superb British funk / blues group the Groove Doctors, with special thanks to their leader Tim Ainslie!

So enjoyable was this event that the acts selected in 2006 (Fluttr Effect and Brother Big Bad) have been asked to return not only in 2007 on this tour but also to expand this event to the whole of the British Isles. The tour will include many of the venues that we book for the October UK Tour but a significant part will also take part in East Anglia.
