NARC. Magazine
NARC. magazine is a monthly alternative music and culture magazine for the North East.
Established in 2006, we have a passion for independent music, art, theatre, comedy and film in the region, and a dedication to honest, knowledgeable and entertaining journalism, both in print and online at www.narcmagazine.com
We love hearing from musicians, artists, film and theatre makers, comedians, promoters and anyone involved in North East culture. Here's a few tips on how to send us info on your project:
✅ Have everything ready before you get in touch - finished music, a clear idea of your project, dates for an event or activity etc.
✅ Tell us about what you're doing - send a press release, or even just a brief overview of your activity. Don't forget a high resolution image!
✅ Keep our deadlines in mind - we only include activity taking place in the relevant month, and we work at least 8-6 weeks ahead for the magazine and at least 2 weeks ahead for the website. For example: got a single coming out/art exhibition/comedy show/theatre production in July? Send us the info by the end of May at the latest
