I’ve been a music journalist for more than 10 years. Over the years, many artists and managers have asked me what the best way to break into the European music market is.
Here are some things you can do:
Publish artist press releases, news, and tour dates to the CountryHome Forum on MySpace, http://groups.myspace.com/CountryHomeMagazine , CountryHome Forum is part of CountryHome, http://www.CountryHome.de , Germany's Premier Country Music Online Magazine. Everything you publish to the CountryHome Forum will be published in my weekly Newsletter which has over 80,000 readers.
Send me CDs and DVDs for review and set up an artist interview with me. All reviews and interviews will be submitted to the magazines I'm writing for. More information for which magazines I'm writing can be found at http://www.MySpace.com/ChristianLamitschka
Upload artist videos to http://www.MyVideo.de and http://www.ClipFish.de . Both websites are like http://www.YouTube.com and uploading videos is free. The websites are completely in German. If you don’t speak German and need assistance, I will help you open an account and upload a video for 25 Euro. Each additional video upload for the same artist name and at the same video website is 10 Euro.
If you have more questions about the European music market or about any of the information I send to you today, please contact me at Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de too.

Hey Guys! The craic was grand last night at McKinnon's. Thanks for some great music and fun. Enjoy the parade today. Happy St. Patrick's Day! Slainte! Greg
Hey dudes, I gave into temptation and finally posted Barnacle Bill on our page. Was great to see you both play again last week, hopefully it won't be the last time. Looking forward to this winter when I can get back out there and play. All my best, Colin "THE G String Killer"
Hey guys, here's a little clip from your performance, didn't realize I only had 43 seconds left of memory though. Hopefully you will make a recording of this song some day...I love it :)
