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.
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.

Okay, out of ALL the pages we've been able to update lately, we're still waiting for some juicy pictures for this one. Of course, it didn't occur to us on the repeated times we've wailed and prevailed at the Palladium Club to take some pictures of the studio upstairs that's snaked from the stage below: the 16 track Tascam MSR 16x16 (with DBX) 1" analog reel to reel, or the Soundcraft 600 24 track console, the outboard gear such as the 6144 dual channel tube limiter, DBX 160A compressor, and gates we remember not their names, and of course the mics such as AKG CH14-B-T62, Sony C57 tube, and Seinheiser MD421 - digital recording set up too.

Bollocks, we didn't even get a picture of Don the engineer sucking Merlot from the bottle with a bendy straw or our bassist in the jazz quartet on his back, bass astraddle, doing a less than gentle rendition of "Ain't Misbehavin'".

Two pix off the web for gear heads below and click on these sound links for dulcet renditions of at least two bands that have recorded at the CMEAS live recording venue: <Bir Mir Bist Du Schoen - The Gauntlet> and <Watch Your Step - The Convulsions>
