Some libraries stock trade directories – many don’t. In the USA, we particularly like Billboard Buyer’s Guide (a very comprehensive listing of US labels and publishers, plus a less detailed but equally accurate listing for most overseas territories). They also publish the Billboard International Talent And Touring Directory, which lists management contact for a myriad of acts, although these are in the main, American acts. In the UK, Music Week publish an exhaustive guide called the Music Week Directory which we think is probsbly the best single-country directory in the world. In Ireland, Hot Press do the same for the Emerald Isle. Incidentally there are links to Billboard, Music Week and Hot Press on our Links page.Finally, International Songwriters Association publishes a number of directories specially for songwriters, which are supplied free to members.
