About Us

At Access All Areas we have created a global roster of carefully selected acts; they come from many diverse cultures and genres but all share one common theme, the finest quality music. Whether it’s for a festival, arts centre, club or one-off event, Access All Areas can offer an exciting selection of international and UK based artists.

From the mystical regions of Asia, the deserts of Africa, the cosmopolitan cities of Europe, the swamps and bayous of the Southern States and the frenetic streets of Cairo, our artists present the true sounds of World music.

Run jointly by Graham and Angie Breakwell, we bring to the agency our many years of experience and knowledge of representation and management, venue programming, festival organisation, arts promotion and tour production. Our aim is to offer the right artist for every occasion and then support your promotion with effective publicity material and marketing advice.

In addition to our booking agency role we produce UK tours for our international artists and have recently moved into the field of Creative Production, conceiving, designing, sourcing and delivering collaborative projects in major venues.  

Over time we have established long-term relationships with numerous festivals and music venues throughout the UK, Europe and beyond and are always pleased to meet new faces and forge new partnerships. We also enjoy strong working relations with a number of key organisations in the World music field, notably 30IPS Ltd, Astar Artes, Fidjo Music, Hoedown, Kawa Music and WOMAD.

Currently, Arts Council England (ACE) support our touring programmes. providing funding towards “Future Roots”, our project which strategically develops markets for artists whose outlook is contemporary but whose art stems from their tradition. We recently expanded this project, under the name of "Future Roots - Branching Out" adding a new Creative Learning programme which takes WOMAD Foundation trained artists into schools. 

Our website seeks to give you a flavour of the richness and culturally diverse nature of our artists and to keep you informed on who is touring when, who is playing where, who is making the news and of any new or emerging artists who have joined us. We also mail out updates to promoters but if you are not on our mailing list, and would like to be, we’ll be happy to add your details.

And if you'd like a free copy of our new brochure just let us know and we'll post one right away.

We look forward to introducing you to our growing family of talented artists.
