MissingLinkProductions Newsletter November 2002...
News
Blimey! Beginning of the month again!
October has been a very hectic month for us.
I started the month off with a three day exhibition stall at the
National Wedding Show up at the NEC in Birmingham. I had been
a little unsure about how everything would go, but I ended up having
a really enjoyable weekend. This was definitely helped by
the lovely people who had stands around me and all the performers
who came up to entertain the crowds. A huge thank you to Arbie
the Robot, Electric Cabaret, the mime artists, juggler
Sam Veale, silhouhette cutter Roving
Artist, Charles Burns, caricaturists Andy
Davey, Sweet Fairy Nika,
Magic Matt, and Brink
of Distinction's wonderful Giant Penguins and Giant
Garden Gnomes. You were all really fantastic and I really
appreciate all the hard crowd pulling you did for us.
After ploughing through all the enquiries we got at that event,
I then went off to give a talk at the City Women's Network about
the business start up, girls in business and the help I got from
the Princes Trust. I was very nervous about it, but the evening
went really well and I met some very interesting people.
I went to see the fantastic show 'Acrobat' at the roundhouse a few
weeks ago which was amazing. I loved the set up, the show,
the costumes and the skill level was phenomenal.
Some of you may have seen Magic
Matt on Chris Moyle's Channel 5 TV show last week,
doing some of his fantastic pickpocketing skills dressed as a security
guard.
Other performers news is that the gorgeous Heir
of Insanity have just finished a month run at the GOP
variety theatre is Germany.
The wonderful signed song performer Caroline
Parker will be performing her one woman show at the
Wimbledon Theatre on 25th November. Another one definitely
worth seeing if you can.
One last piece of performers news for you, as a lot of you have
been asking, is that Lucy
Francis is making an amazingly rapid recovery. Well
done to the girl for having the strength to heal so quickly and
we look forward to seeing you training again soon.
A final enquiry for our performers this month, I know that Xmas
is looming and you are all very busy, but I have been contacted
by a children's hospital to see if any of you would be interested
in performing on the ward. Please do let me know if you can
spare the time.
Web Site
In amongst all my gallivanting this month, I have managed to squeeze
in a few more acts to the website.
The synchronised mime and elegant statues of Electric Cabaret have also been put on the site. Having
seen them working at the Wedding Show I can guarantee they will
be a hit at any corporate event.
Also added the the site this month are Mime
The Gap and their Royal Footmen. Some of the
most high class meet and greet characters your event could have.
Comedy Marilyn cabaret performer Verity Snee has changed her stage
name to Helen Kane
and this has been updated on the website.
And finally our list of Xmas performers has gone up on the site.
You can see them here.
Gig of the Month
Gig of the month, quite obviously, has to be the fantastic Jon
Hicks, Artist in Action, who has spent most of the
month touring Japan. I went out to see Jon for the first few
days of performance. An enormous thank you to the very kind
Kazuyo, Toshiko, Fumiko and Keiji and everyone else who made my
visit one of the most enjoyable jobs I have ever had.
Quote of the Month
Over lunch one day last week, one of my performers, looked up from
his coffee and rather dejectedly said
"I get really nervous when I speak to you, hoping that
one day, maybe one day I will say something funny enough to be quote
of the month".
Well Mr Tate,
looks like you finally made it.
Wrap up warm, all of you in Europe, at this nippy time of year.
Enjoy your November.
