How to book our musicians

You may like to find out more information about joining Making Music to take full advantage of these special artists fees each year.

When you are considering or confirming a booking, please let us know via the booking progress facility.

The notes below will help promoters make the most of the Network.

• Choose a musician and speak to the contact indicating your interest in making a booking from the Concert Promoters' Group brochure.
• Either make a definite booking, or a provisional booking on the basis that the fee comes down to a particular level.
• The contact for the musicians should inform you when the fee comes down to the next level. However it pays to check this before you sign a contract and in the period leading up to the concert.
• When you sign a contract with the contact person, we advise that you agree the fee to be: 'as determined by the number of bookings through the Concert Promoters' Group brochure'. This is so you get the benefit of the sliding scale of fees.
• Please acknowledge the scheme in your annual brochure and programmes using the following wording: 'This concert has been made possible through the Making Music Concert Promoters' Group scheme.' and use the Making Music logo where possible. Download logo from here.
• The fees apply to the given concert season. Bookings outside that period should be negotiated without reference to the scheme.
• The 1-6 concert fee bracket does not include travel and this must be added.
• All fees assume that you will provide accommodation if necessary.
• VAT at current rate is included in the fees where appropriate, rounded to the nearest £5.
