RECORD LABEL COMMENT
Thanks for the chance to be in the March edition of Bandit. We have had some very interesting demos sent through and have picked up a few great releases that are now in the pipeline. It is obviously a great resource to artists and I hope long may the newsletter continue. Adrian Fern, (Label Manager) Elliptic Records, UK

Hi John. I don't know if you remember me but about 8 years ago your organisation assisted me in getting a deal with SMI and Gareth Young co-writer with Treana and now Producer for the likes of Sugababes and Dani Monogue. To cut a long story short, I have done really well since then and now work with Bruce Ruffin of BRM Music and about to launch a new label. Paul Cahalane, UK. www.singeraudition.com

Your simplest way to get signed!
I asked my Bandit subscribers why they liked their newsletters.
This is what they told me to pass on to you!
You can try a subscription today and receive your first TWO issues for the price of ONE! Make something happen!!

Can I say that your publication has certainly provided the most responses that I had versus just sending e-mails to publishers etc (via unsigned guide etc.), so it is a good source, so many thanks for that. Neil Major.

Not only does Bandit Newsletter open pathways to the worldwide music industry, from the smallest to the biggest players, but it also opens valuable and affordable channels of communication and support which everybody can make use of. Mel Austin ( Melodious Music/ mobsta promotions)

Your Bandit A&R Newsletters as well as SongQuarters; are excellent ways to reach the Labels/A&R/Music Publishers and the established/up & coming artists they represent.
Kevin Nevel. NC USA. www.reverbnation.com/httpcdbabycomcdkevinnevel  

I've always found Bandit an affordable and reliable source of information on suitable projects and companies to submit my music to. For a musician on a low income like me, it represents great value for money. Angus Coull. www.myspace.com/divideandrulemusic"

The Bandit Newsletter provides invaluable music industry info for a negligible sum of money. Even you only get make one meaningful contact from three months of Newsletters, it's still a bargain and a tiny fraction of the money that you would otherwise spend to know who's looking for what in the industry. If you're asking yourself whether it's worth the money, you should also be asking yourself whether you really want to get anywhere in this industry. . . Chandra Nair, Kick-Ass Trainers. www.kickasstrainers.com

To the "ordinary guy" songwriter, "Bandit" newsletter represents a door to the music business, and a chance to get your songs to the right people, and even if your songs don't get accepted at first, through "Bandit", contacts are being made in the music biz.  Michael J Ramplin  Country/Gospel singer/ songwriter. michael.ramplin@hotmail.co.uk  

Bandit is one way of getting your music to the ears of people who could potentially open doors and land you a deal / promotion / production or even A full blown record contract. I have subscribed to Bandit for many Years and as a result have sent my music to all parts of the World. I have not received any record deals but indirectly my music has benefitted from exposure and gained download sales / Radio Play as a result. If you have the cash in this time of recession I would strongly advise you to join Bandit. One of my songs is currently included on the Midem sampler hosted by Gotham Records. It may or may not be taken up by the industry but it gives an example of what happens when you Join Bandit--in my opinion money well spent!!!! Cheers Alan Whitfield, Bandit Subscriber www.cdbaby.com/cd/alanwhitfield

I try to spend as much time as I can sending demo recordings of my original material to as many connections as possible. The Bandit magazine adds to my collection new connections as they appear. Jezz Barwick www.jezzbarwick.co.uk

I have managed to have 4 releases worldwide through contacts made in Bandit. Not major stuff but interesting none the less. Simon Strange. www.myspace.com/purplejaguar23

I have only been a subscriber of Bandit for 2 or 3 weeks now. My experience is: contracts for  a single song publishing deal, a distribution deal, and 2 contracts for Film and TV libararies on my desk waiting to be forwarded to my attorney. All I have to do is invite the contact people in Bandit to my www.ReverbNation.com/ronrussell page and / or my www.hollywooddreamspublishing.com website. That simple. So I would say: "If you have a quality song, Bandit is the information highway to success"Ron Russell

As a singer songwriter/vocalcoach/Animator I have found Bandit very useful over the years and I promote it to students who often don't know where to start. Bandit are a genuine outfit in an increasingly tough market. Recently I have also been able to offer singers and bands reasonable animated films via John's advertising page. Shirley Kent. www.humblefilmfactory.co.uk

I've signed numerous publishing deals via Bandit contacts and through its sources my daughter is now being represented by a great NY producer / promoter who has worked with all the greats from Aretha Franklin to Jackie Wilson. Michael Mcnamara www.myspace.com/mikeamcnamara www.myspace.com/lilmissemac

I have been subscibing to Bandit for over a year and have made some very useful contacts within the music industry - I would definately reccomend Bandit its a small investment for opportunties you may not have access to elsewhere Persia Knight. persiaknight@gmx.com

What I like best about the Bandit news letter you will get your music heard and in most cases a reply. All the news and tips are up to date I've been a songwriter since the 80's and wish I found the Bandit then. Mike Morton. www.mikemortonmusic.com

What I value about getting Bandit each month is that it lets me selectively match the work I do with the markets that are out there and because Bandit advertisers want to find and promote new music the charlatans and rip-off merchants that the music industry often attracts don't try and snare the unsuspecting through the newsletter. Hope this allays some people's concerns, all the best, Nigel Clothier. www.sharppractise.com

I feel Bandit is a valuable resource to find new contacts and saves on time approaching companies that genuinely do need music, over the years I have had many offers and deals via Bandit. So Investing in the Bandit Newsletter is a must if your serious about getting your music out to a bigger audience and enhancing your career'. Liam Golder. www.echoroommusicpr.co.uk

Bandit has been an invaluable resource for us here at the other end of the world in connecting us with publishers and labels who are looking for songs.  We have signed song deals with a whole range of different publishers and collaborated with some great international talent as a direct result of listings in Bandit.  One of the cheapest and most useful tip sheets around.  Keep up the good work! Marshall Smith - Composer/Producer www.thesoundroom.co.nz

Using Bandit has got my publishing deal in the USA, and places me in contact to numerous people within the music industry who can help. Pete Fegredo. www.myspace.com/petecolorado

Although I have not seen any opportunites from the mainstream labels like Sony, Bmg, EMI, Warners, the Bandit Newsletter still provides up and comming talent with opportunties to get themselves working in the music industry. I like it becuase if you are an artist you could find a  manager, publisher, production or independant label deals. Letch M.Aden. musicconsultancy@gmail.com

Before I was a member of Bandit I was a sceptic but I remember I phoned you up regarding 'Bandit' and what the benefits are regarding the amount of contacts and the detailed information you send via email. My band 'Emerald Sunday' have had genuine interest and created a lot of opportunities and opened alot of doors due to the volume of names and addresses we recieve through your news letter . We will keep you posted on our success and keep the newsletters flowing. Mike Martin. www.reverbnation.com/emeraldsunday
