Welcome to CME Artist Services

If you require work permits for performing in the UK please email us direct at workpermits@cmeas.com or text our work permit hotline at +44 (0)7908 495549 message 'workpermits' and we will call you right back. See 'Tier 5 Sporting and Creative: Musicians UK Work Permits' for more information.

For booking an act from our large roster of pre-reviewed acts of all secular genres please email us direct at info@cmeas.com.

If you are an act looking for a booking, to be on our roster, or on one of our events you need to apply for membership to our roster first:

PLEASE, NO UNSOLICITED REQUESTS FOR BOOKING UNLESS YOU ARE ON OUR ROSTER

There are three ways to become a member of CME Artist Services roster:

1. Acts can apply directly (£15 GBP):

Please enter your acts website here or any location where your music is available online (once you click on the application button you can provide us with more information about you and your act):
 

2. Acts can apply for one of our events (these are usually festivals or tours) - see Opportunities.

3. Acts can offer a tour exchange (go to Contacts and put Tour Exchange in subject line). There is no fee for this but we do require a well thought out proposal before we review the act.

If you are not selected for a particular event (or an exchange doesn't materialise) but you receive a high peer review score you will be included on our roster.

Booking

If you are a venue or festival tired of ploughing through emails and CDs looking for acts we can provide you a with a list of superb and available talent to choose from in any genre. All these acts have all been pre-reviewed for our own wide ranging events. Please email us direct at info@cmeas.com or go to our Contact page to request a list – specify a genre or genres too if you wish. To see examples of the acts we've worked with in the past please see Artists.

If you are a band wanting us to book you then you must first apply to be on our roster (see above).

Please go to 'who we are and what we do' for full description of our agency and philosophy.
