The Unsigned Guide 2nd Edition
It’s not often we cover books here on The Beat Surrender, but every now and again something comes along which you know you have to be involved with, something that could make a massive difference to thousands of people.
New bands can visit websites, speak to people in bands and record shops and yes they’ll get some advice from them, but nothing will be as useful to them as spending the money on this book, it literally gives you every piece of advice, every single contact you are ever going to need to make it in the music industry, short of giving you Bono’s mobile number.
Read on and you’ll see what I mean!
The indispensable grass-roots music directory covering everything you could possibly need as a new, emerging, unsigned band or musician is back and better than ever before! Following the success of the first edition which sold out quick time, is back with a second edition.
The new edition of The Unsigned Guide weighs in at a whopping 872 pages packed with essential contact information for over 11,500 music industry contacts and organisations for England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
Fully researched & updated, the new edition contains masses of new industry contacts, with telephone numbers, email addresses and much more. All coupled with hugely useful hints and pointers about how to progress in the music industry, there’s information here to make the music business accessible to any band or musician. The Unsigned Guide contains listings for everyone you would ever think to call from record company A&R, management companies, radio stations, publishing companies, recording studios to press and media contacts, instrument shops, UK venues and promoters.

There are also some very useful forewords written by organisations such as Musicians’ Union, IFPI, MCPS-PRS Alliance and BPI, as well as contributions from Glastonbury Festival, Sunday Best Recordings & In The City. A sure fire way to help you steer your way through the music industry!!
No other music industry directory promises to be such a comprehensive resource for unsigned bands, musicians, music students or managers. If you’re serious about your music (and you live in the UK!), The Unsigned Guide UK Edition Two is undoubtedly one of the most important buys you’ll make this year. Essential, it’s as simple as that.
