Every year, the Museums at Night team work in partnership with a range of organisations to give arts and heritage venues opportunities to include new creative content in their festival events.

We are now working with the Association of Independent Music (AIM) to help musicians and bands get together with arts and heritage venues to create events for the 2013 festival. We’ll be listing the contact information for artists and acts that are available to play in our e-newsletters over the next couple of months.
To kick us off:
- London-based Wichita Recordings, home to Bloc Party, Simian Mobile Disco and The Cribs and many more, are keen to hear from interested venues.
Contact Ben Wileman for more information.
- Folk musician James J Turner is signed to Liverpool-based Touch The Moon Records.
Contact Judith Whittaker to talk about booking James.
- Debra Downes runs Dawson Breed Music in London. The label has an impressive roster of artists including; Common Tongues, Maggie Reilly and Dutch trio Snowapple.
Talk to Debra if you are interested in any of her acts appearing at your venue.
