FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT ADVERTISING IN THE RECITAL DIARY
Free advertsing... What's the catch?
You are required to mention organrecitals.com on your website, if available, concert publicity, and recital programmes, e.g. "For future local and national concerts, see www.organrecitals.com" (if you want an organrecitals.com logo for your website, click here). Also, you should report any cancelled recitals or revisions to concerts already in the Recital Diary. Hopefully, you'll agree this is a small price to pay for having your concerts listed on Britain's most comprehensive organ recitals website - which gets some 400,000 "hits" annually.
What's next?
Check if the venue has or has not appeared previously in the Recital Diary (as this will affect the content of your submission). To do so, click here - opens in a new window and takes a few moments to load. You should also read the "Terms and Conditions" at the bottom of this page.
How do I submit recital details?
To open a prepared e-mail message that lists the details needed from you, click here. Alternatively, you can create your own e-mail - with an attachment (e.g. Word or pdf file) or a link to a webpage, if you wish - but please ensure it contains the details requested in the table below before sending to webmaster@organrecitals.com
Required information for all submissions:
The name of the venue.
Contact details (e-mail address and/or 'phone number) to be published - for inquiries about recitals at this venue.

Provide these four pieces of information if the venue has not appeared previously in the Recital Diary.
1.The venue's website address.
2.The venue's postal address - including county and postcode.
3.Details of local train stations, bus services, parking arrangements, etc.
4.The recital pattern (e.g. weekly, monthly, occasionally).

Details of each recital should include:
Day and date. Time (from/to). Admission prices (e.g. full, concessions, season). Organist's name and usual
location (e.g. "Stephen Disley, Southwark Cathedral", "Jane Parker-Smith, London").

Note: You may be asked to provide the organ's stop list and/or a photograph of the venue's exterior.
Terms and Conditions for listing in the Recital Diary:
•The Recital Diary covers mainland Britain, i.e. England, Scotland, Wales. No venues outside that area will be listed.
•Recital Diary entries do not include programme details, but it may be possible to provide a brief note (e.g. "Music by Bach and Reger") or a link to a webpage that contains the programme's details.
•Submissions with information omitted (e.g. time, admission price) or containing details "To Be Announced" will be listed at the webmaster's discretion.
•Concerts featuring an electronic organ or a theatre organ will be listed at the webmaster's discretion, and only if the instrument's stop list is readily available. Please enquire by sending brief details to webmaster@organrecitals.com
•Concerts featuring choirs or other musicians/instruments will be listed at the webmaster's discretion, and only if the concert also includes some organ solos.
•Master classes and similar events will not be listed - because there is insufficient space within a single entry to detail the events in an all-day programme.
•Concerts that do not include an organ will not be listed. The site is called "organrecitals.com" for a reason!
• The webmaster may reject any concert(s) submitted for listing.
• The webmaster may delete concerts at venues that have not complied with the requirement (as set out at the top of this page) to "mention organrecitals.com on...concert publicity, and recital programmes".
