We are also very happy to be commissioned to create shows or workshops from our wide network of performers.

We also have contacts for photographers, location/setting dressers, creche entertainers.

We ensure that all our performers provide high quality entertainment by auditioning acts before listing them our web site. If you need an act we do not appear to have represented on our books please do contact us. We may have contacts for just the act you need as we keep a backlog of reputable performers we are just waiting for the opportunity to audition before adding to our web site.

We do NOT generally deal with cover or tribute bands, pop outfits or DJs - there are quite enough agencies who specialise in the mainstream and we like what we offer to be different and special, so we leave it to them.

We look forward to hearing from you with your enquiry for your very special event.
