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
East Anglia Tour Spring 2006
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.
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 UK Spring Tour 2006 took place in East Anglia and London and featured three outstanding US acts: Brother Big Bad from Minneapolis, Fluttr Effect from Boston, and Meg Hutchinson from Great Barrington, MA.

"This tour was one of the best weeks of my life- visiting a beautiful country, meeting unbelievably hospitable and entertaining new people, touring with incredible musical acts- becoming their new biggest fan and playing music every night- what could be better??"

DJ Philips, Brother Big Bad

"This is Marc, the BBB drummer. I just wanted to thank you again for the experience of a lifetime. I will never forget you or our 10 days in East Anglia. You're not welcome in America unless I can spend some time with you. Bring your harp...we'll hit some blues jams and I think I owe you a beer."

Marcus Bohn, Brother Big Bad

"I'm home safe and sound and jet lagged but surprisingly feeling grand. I want to thank you for truly one of my favorite weeks ever. What a great adventure it was, what a load of good people, f**king good musicians. What good pints and good laughter. Man, it'll all keep me smiling for a long time. I sure appreciate all the work that went into making the tour happen and your endless patience looking out for us all, leading us at the wheel, the board, the walrus, the s---ff, that final glass of wine that we really shouldn't have had but had regardless.... oh what good times. I'm missing everyone already. Please keep in touch, let me know what plans you're working on. I hope to return soon. All best to ya and thanks again for a brilliant introduction to your country. love meg."
