In the back of the Guide are listings of festivals around the world stating who, what, when and where and a contact web address and/or hotline. Our blues festival listings are the most accurate you can find anywhere.

The Guide is printed on 325#-70 bright, white, recycled newsprint. Newsprint will ensure that advertising is affordable for promoters and other potential advertisers. Plus it is better for the earth.
