Celebrity "Indie" DJ's ( No.2)

Here is a short list of some of the DJ sets supplied by celebrity DJ's.
This list concerns itself primarily with the artistes that play "indie" music.
All are from bands that made their name on the "indie" rock circuit  or by selling large amounts of recorded material - enough to get high chart placings and headline on stadium tours and festivals.


Using a celebrity DJ is the cheap way to get a famous personality to your event to play music (all be it recorded music and not necessarily the artistes own music). However, they will be there, at your event, in person. 
Often they will "meet & greet" your guests and most will pose for informal camera shots.


The following names will give you an idea of who you can get - and the good news is there are more to choose from.
For more information please contact us.

Splendid theatre drama brought to your venue

If you belong to a golf club or book club or some other gathering where you can muster 50+ fairly bright people together for a social evening, equivalent to spending an evening out at the theatre; the following should really appeal to you.

A brand new two-man adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s LORD ARTHUR SAVILE’S CRIME is now available to book for both public and private events.

As well as being a great (and very marketable) show for any theatre venue the play can also be performed in castles, church halls, restaurants, hotels or even a room in your own home! The production can be performed on a conventional stage with a simple set but also works well when performed cabaret style, amongst the audience.

The play is available in two versions – one which runs for an hour, and another which extends the show to 1 hour and 20 minutes. It can be performed with or without an interval.

A gripping tale of love, honour, duty, fortune-telling and murder!  This is a wicked black comedy that positively fizzes with fun.

Join Lord and Lady Arthur Savile in their new home for an evening of ludicrous indulgence:

LAUGH as Lord Arthur regales you with his astounding anecdotes!

MARVEL at the versatility of his man-servant!

GASP as his Lordship reveals dark secrets that will have you squirming in your seat!

Dare you spend time in the company of Lord Arthur Savile?

This professionally performed play can be brought to your venue at affordable costs.
Fee are in the region of £550.00 (NO VAT).
Travelling expenses to be added where necessary.


We only have one troupe of actors, at this point in time, so can only accept engagements on a first-come-first-served basis.


This show will be a welcome change from tribute shows, live bands, discos and similar for art and theatre lovers.

Reviews

**** 4 stars
“Martin Harris’s script, written for just two characters, has wisely kept many of Wilde’s unforgettable lines. The result is a hilariously funny black comedy with a smattering of audience participation as the actors mingle with their guests… A cracking production of a witty play, which brings pace and energy to the piece.” – What’s On Stage, Public Performance at Waterside Arts Centre

**** 4 stars
“The story is good, peppered with Wildeian wit, and vividly told by two charismatic actors who clearly have a great rapport with one another and their audience. A thoroughly enjoyable evening’s entertainment in every sense.” – The Public Reviews, Public Performance at Waterside Arts Centre

“A superb performance enjoyed by over 60 of our members. A great night and one that I would recommend to any Golf Club to arrange for their members.” – Kevin Pearce, Knutsford Golf Club

“The loud laughter alone was a display of the involvement and response of the guests. So thanks again for your performance and best wishes for the continued success. ” – Helen Newman, Private Booking

“Everyone was delighted by your performance. They all considered themselves to have been very well entertained by a performance which was highly amusing and wonderfully performed by the two of you. Please do let us know if you come up with another piece – I’m sure we would want to do it all again.” – Andrew Clarke, St Mary’s Church Fundraiser

Three pianos, a dragon with a dog - you will chuckle.

Acts that are likely to make you and your guests/colleagues laugh follow.
The only down-side is that they are not budget priced but, having fallen asleep at a comedy club last week during  showtime, that down-side is perhaps worth taking the financial hit.
OK, bearing the above in mind; for "principles" only therefore - are you game for a laugh?


My lords,ladies,gentlemen and distinguished prospective clients we are delighted to present: 
Duelling Pianos

You will have to fly them in from the States, put them up in a nice hotel, organise two pianos and a drum kit for  them. 
Put them on a stage in a room full of people and watch the fun engulf the place.
There will be lots of showmanship and masses of audience participation - whats not to like?




The next treat came to mass public awareness via ITV's Britain's Got Talent.
That is not an excuse to grimace - no sirs; in this case its a good reason to smile (even laugh perhaps).
It is with pride and pleasure we present:
Kev Orkian

This is the third piano player on offer. He is, another brilliant musician. His comedy is in a way classic, that is, classic and clever, yet silly, stopping short of slapstick. Clever people love his work. Not-so clever people think he is hilarious - we are a approaching a "win-win" situation when entertaining a room full of people with widely differing academic capabilities. 
(The Financial Director laughed as much as young Derek from internal post - someone said, after a corporate do where Kev Orkian entertained.)






And now for something so ridiculous, not even the name of the act fully prepares one.
Please view the work of: 
Piff the Magic Dragon

Its silly, ridiculous and would be embarrassing to watch if it wasn't so clever and funny.
Piff has obviously taken a long look at the late great Tommy Cooper's work and has made a very good attempt at modernising it and making it better for the current time frame.
Words can not describe what you get on a night out watching Piff and his little dog entertaining you. Watch the video and make a judgement for yourself.




Now the above, although worth every penny, are fairly pricey to book but good news readers, I have some talented moderately priced alternatives for your cabaret slots - all you have to do is ask.


Feel free to contact me with questions/ideas on event entertainment.
I am particularly interested in getting ideas across via social media, if you want to talk about that.




Bye.

Reduce your workload - book an inclusive show

You have a group of people and event entertainment to organise.
Why not hire a package that incorporates all the entertainment, as well as providing "something fresh & different".
The packages I am about to recommend have a very high audience participation factor.
All you need do as the organiser is get people to attend. 
If you can encourage people to dress up to follow the theme of the package, then added atmosphere will result but that is not essential.


Priscilla Queen Of The Desert The Musical is the most successful Australian
musical of all time having already been seen by almost 2 million people.
Priscilla is a heart-warming, uplifting adventure of three friends who
hop aboard a battered old bus  (nicknamed Priscilla) searching for love
and friendship and end up finding more than they could have ever dreamed.


You can book a show with 3 Divas singing the hits from the show.

The music from the show is mainly classic disco hits - music that lends itself to dancing.
My daughter, Olivia, is in the cast of the current West End show, and having seen the show I can vouch for the positive effect the music has on the audience.
With this package you get a slice of a quality show at your venue or party or corporate event.


The hits from the show include:


Downtown

I’ve Never Been To Me
What’s Love Got To Do With It?
Don’t Leave Me This Way
Venus
Go West
I Say A Little Prayer
I Love The Nightlife
Both Sides Now
Follie! Delirio Vano E Quoesto!…Sempre Libera (from Verdi’s La Traviata)
Colour My World
I Will Survive

Thank God I’m A Country Boy

A Fine Romance
Shake Your Groovy Thing
Pop Muzik
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Hot Stuff
MacArthur Park
Boogie Wonderland
Come into My World
Always On My Mind
Kylie Medley
We Belong
Finally

Another package show is the Rocky Horror show.
Half a dozen actors with strong vocal abilities perform hits from the stage show.

If one were to ask a random sample of a group of men if they had every worn a bask, push-up bra and stockings with suspender belt in public, a large proportion would say yes.
If one were to ask those men, who admitted they had worn this type clothing - why they had done so. The likely answer would be; to dress up to see a Rocky Horror Show concert.
Guys do that sort of thing for Rocky Horror and its allowed.
You can put on a Rocky Horror cabaret at your event by just booking the package show and giving attendees the option to dress up.


There are other package shows available.
A very nice show that has a lot of female appeal is the Kylie Show:


http://www.the-kylie-show.webs.com/


This package includes most of Kylie's hits and lots of costume changes. Its a 80's/90's music fest that will the audience doing the conga to the "Locomotion" and "spinning around" with glee.


For more high brow audiences, package shows offering stimulating opera arias before and after dinner are an option.
If you want the superb singing and a laugh as well, you can have:
singing waiters, singing chefs, singing firemen, singing barmaids and other variations.
These too come as a package where you, as an organiser, have minimal workload and maximum kudos.


Organising Corporate events are one of our many specialities. If you are a busy events manager or corporate event organiser wanting to hire a professional and reliable travelling corporate DJ, entertainer or corporate band to make your corporate event stand out, we know you won’t disappointed by our great services.

Cost Effective Celebrity Attendance at your special event

So you have decided to have a big party.
You are going to put cost worries aside and go for it!
Must have's include super food, lots of nice drinks, a fab venue or decorated marquee and special entertainment.
Then you think.................why not have someone famous to entertain.
You decide who you would like and start to look around to find the cost.
Very quickly you find that the likes of Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Take That and Justin Bieber are almost unbookable due to massive cost.
You take stock and attempt to aim a little lower down the popularity pole.
Inevitably you end up at 80's chart toppers e.g. Real Thing, Human League and Duran Duran etc.
These acts are very good but the cost can cause many concern, even though they are worth it.

An easy way to have a celebrity - that everyone at your event knows - is to use Celebrity DJ's,
TV Talent show stars or Reality TV show stars.


For very reasonable money you can have a star like Kitty Brucknell at your event. (See X-Factor Video clip).


Danny from McFly will appear at your event as a Celebrity DJ, he will play tunes for your guests to dance to and sing over the McFly hits for a modest fee. (Danny is the lead singer in the video clip).


The drummer from McFly, Harry Judd, is currently on Strictly Come Dancing. 
The band that plays the music for the dancers in that show is available - they are perfect for large corporate events.


Major stars like Sophie Ellis Bextor will DJ with her husband (lead singer from the Feeling pop group).
A double whammy Celebrity DJ offering.


See the atmosphericspecialevents celebrity page for more ideas.

Without banging on about who you can get too much, the main point of this article is to point out that if you want to"push the boat out a bit" and ob-knob with the rich and famous - there is a budget way to do it. (Relatively speaking).


Cheers,


Lenny
