Tribute Acts
The tribute industry is now massive in this country. There are ‘tributes’ available for almost every well known Band or Solo entertainer. Far too many to list here - but if you like a major ‘star’ but your budget won't stretch - then there will undoubtedly be a ‘tribute’ to that Artiste who will be available. Most ‘Stars’ feel that they have really ‘made their mark’ when another Artiste wants to be a tribute to them.

Comedians
Over the years we have worked with some of the best Comedians & Comedy Acts in the country. Ranging from locally based comedians to top TV Stars. In 1983 I ‘discovered’ a young entertainer working as a Bluecoat. I thought he had great potential so I signed him up and ‘managed’ him to start his professional career. I’m proud to say that Shane Richie is now a household name!
Speciality Acts
This heading covers a wide range of Entertainers. From Magicians, Illusionists, Caricaturists, Comedy-Magicians, Children’s Entertainers etc. - the list is endless. We can only show a few here of the many we have booked over the years.

Vocalists
There many excellent specialised Vocalists on the scene at the moment. Both Male & Female, and Acts featuring two or three singers. . They can be used for a ‘Cabaret’ performance for a function, or - something which is becoming increasingly popular - is performing as a ‘Wedding singer’ - providing the happy couple with a rendition of their favourite songs on their special day. Also popular at weddings and other events are ‘The Singing Waiters’ A group of ‘supposedly’ normal waiters – suddenly burst into song at some point during the evening, from various parts of the room.
