Music fans looking forward to a city break in New York this year can make use of a new guide to the free and low-cost concerts set to be staged over the coming months.

It is geared towards all ages and tastes, providing information on all manner of concerts and festivals taking place at venues across the city over the next few months.

"We invite everyone to immerse themselves in the excitement of the shows and support the arts by attending."

People interested in visiting these or any other events featured in the new guide can catch flights to New York with carriers including British Airways, Virgin Atlantic and Continental Airlines.
