Welcome toPerforming Artistes2017 sees us mark 25 years in business. We’ve certainly come along way from operating out of the spare room of the chairman’shouse, with both the business and industry changing beyond allrecognition. We originally put on events, namely sporting dinners, before focussing on supplying otherpeoples’ events. That heritage of running events still runs through the business and in facteveryone who works for us has run events themselves – we believe you can only trulyunderstand and best service a customer when you’ve been through the stresses and strains of events yourself.

We now supply people around the world, and while our name hints at entertainment – afterdinner speaking and awards hosts are very much a mainstay - half of the events we supply arewhat we would call the serious stuff: people chairing conferences and giving keynote speeches.

PR and Marketing campaigns are also a growing part of the business, be they a simple personalappearance, a radio and broadcast day or even a full blown endorsement/advertising campaign.

While much has changed, the fundamentals remain the same, and our clarion call is still: we workfor you! So whether you are planning your first event, or your hundredth, do give us a call ordrop us a line and we look forward to hearing from you.

The Performing Artistes Team.

Meet Our Directors...

Awards & Events HostsAwards are a mainstay of the events calendar, and we supply well over a hundred inany given year. A good host will engage the audience, keep the evening running totime and provide some light relief. Comedians are a popular choice, althoughprofessional broadcasters such as newsreaders and TV presenters can also be safebets, with their experience of live audiences proving invaluable, plus their profilehelping to attract people to the event.

A ‘Voice of God’ can add an extradimension to an event. They can helpbreak the monotony of just the voice ofthe host throughout the evening, andalso interact with him or her to add a newdynamic. They can also liven things up,be it conducting games such as Heads &Tails or providing commentary to silentauctions.

Jess Robinson.Jess is a musical impressionist – she

can sing one song in the style ofanother singer; think Kylie doing

reggae, Edith Piaff doing a nurseryrhyme! She can perform with backing

tracks or with live musicalaccompaniment utilising her Wheels

there and then. An amazing talent, anda bit different!
