News

Welcome to spring!

Here in the UK, the sun has been shining, daffodils are out and there is blossom on the trees - it really does feel like spring is finally with us.

March was an astoundingly busy month for MissingLink. There was a lot to catch up with on my return from Australia and there seem to have been performances every weekend. It also seems that people are ignoring the news forecasts and booking performers for what looks to be a very busy summer.

One of the first shows this month was the 'Try Out Cabaret' as part of The Circus Space Festival. (T)hat Juggler performed his fantastic comedy hat juggling routine, Will Cleary compered, performed their street acrobalance routine and Claredeloon performed a wonderful rope act - feathered and glittered to the nines!

Also at The Circus Space was 'Day and Night' with two performances; one by Gaynor Derbyshire which was a wonderfully uplifting contemporary dance, aerial, breakdance and acrobatics display; the other by being by David Eriksson and John-Paul Zaccarini - who never cease to be a pleasure to watch. The performers complimented each other wonderfully and the performance on the whole was very moving.

I went to the Hubble Bubble cabaret at the Union Chapel where the lovely Layla did a fantastic acrobalance and doubles trapeze routine with Jez Houghton for the launch of Ojami's new album. I had a really fantastic evening and their show made it that extra bit special.

The fantastic Caroline Parker will be performing in 'Peeling', a new show from Graeae Theatre Company at the Soho Theatre from 3rd - 13th April. For further information please contact the box office on 0207 478 0100.

Los Kaos have been doing a spot of comedy on BBC Radio Kent - do try and catch that if you are down there.

Another job opportunity is that Winchester Hat Fair are looking for some help in their office. For anyone with some spare time and good office admin skills, this would be a great opportunity to take part in the UK's oldest street festival. Please contact me for more details.

Web Site

There are no new acts on the web site this month, but lots of new pictures:

 - Clive Andrews, clown and comedy waiter has some new pictures of his act.

 - Maya Flamenca also have new pictures of their glorious flamenco dancers.

Gig of the Month

I helped out the Stratford Theatre Royal this month who put on a show for refugees. The wonderful Bibi and Bichu performed and I would like to say a HUGE thank you to Kerim and Mustafa at the Kurdish Human Rights Project for all their help in arranging performers.

There is a benefit gig happening at the 100 club for the KHRP on 8th May. Performing at the event will be The Wild Angels, Mark Thomas, Mark Steel and Boothby Graffoe amongst others. Tickets can be bought on http://www.ticketweb.co.uk and it is going to be a fantastic nights entertainment for a really good cause. It is quite likely to sell out, so do make sure you get a ticket.

Confiscation of the Month

Whilst filming for The Mark Thomas Product for Channel 4 last week I had a security guard approach me and confiscate a banana skin I was holding. He must have spotted that I was a potential slapstick gag waiting to happen.

Thanks to everyone (from myself, Mark and Vera) who helped out on the filming last week. Keep an eye out for yourselves on Wednesday night.

I hope you all have a wonderful April.

Warmest Regards
