UK - Carlsbro Electronics Ltd has teamed up with the world-renowned Barfly to produce local gig guides throughout the UK. In the past, Barfly has helped to expose bands such as Oasis, Stereophonics, Ash and Electric Six, to name but a few. The new guides, which will be A6 format, black and white pocket books, will be distributed by each local venue and via www.ticketweb.co.uk, released mid-monthly.

Direct links will be established between each company's website (Carlsbro's new website is set to be launched at the beginning of November), which will provide info on venues and dates. Jason Woodcock, Carlsbro's marketing and business development manager, commented: "As part of Carlsbro's on-going commitment to keeping music live, Barfly is a natural partner."

This news follows Carlsbro's recent and continued support of the Xposure television series (first showing Thursday 4 Sept, 11.30pm on Carlton TV). In addition, the company is launching a new 'Find 'em First' campaign in conjunction with DEP International, the home of UB40 at Music Live.
