News 

Welcome to the first newsletter of the Xmas rush!
 

I was lucky enough to get to see some fantastic shows this past month, ranging from silent sign songstress Caroline Parker's fantastic solo show, Signs of a Diva.  Caroline has also been nominated for best actress in the television show 'Switch'.  If you have seen Caroline's great performances in this show, I am sure you will be interested in knowing where you can register your vote; all you need to do is visit www.remark.uk.com/filmandtvawards 

I was also able to see one of the best cabarets I have seen in a long time at our home The Circus Space.  Vaudeville comedy balancing from Bongo Bolero and a  really stunning aerial cradle act from Duo Vertigo.

I also managed to get along to the Sunday show of the London Juggling Convention, again, held at the Circus Space.  Well done to Owen Reynolds for all his hard work in organising this.

Performers' news this month is that we are rejoined by the forces of Cirq-U and Aerial Roots back from their respective half year's working in variety shows in the prestigious Friedrichstradt Palast, Germany and No Fit State Circus shows throughout the summer.  Welcome back to the girls who are some of our most versatile and hard working performers.  Do check out Aerial Roots' Zorro theme trapeze act and their Nanny McPhee old lady.

The BBC red silks ladies, VIVA Aerial Dance, have been out and about a lot this month.  You can see both girls as spinning bats in the film Batman Begins and Jane can be seen floating around in the new Malteasers advert.

And finally... It is with a heavy heart (and a heavy workload) we say goodbye to Milly, here for the briefest time, but the lady really got stuck in up to her elbows. Milly worked like a (storm) trooper and was a joy to have around. When you get bored of living somewhere more relaxing and sunny Milly, please come back to us in Hackney... you know you will miss all the singing, dancing and atrocious puns.

 In order to gain mentions in the newsletter, performers are requested to keep me up to date with their latest news, reviews, acts, antics, costumes, ideas, appearances, pictures, plans and gossip. Especially the gossip. Get me the stuff and get the mention - that is that way it works. Send us pictures, you get publicity in the newsletter - it really is that simple. Any information you would like to share with other performers may also be included, though we try not to publicise up coming gigs for obvious reasons. This month we have mostly been using the overwhelmed by the good karma of search engine http://www.everyclick.com - select your charity and make donations every time you search stuff. Can't find something on it? Search Google and access them through there and give money to charities every day with little effort. Performers who write down reference numbers get special treatment. Those who do not check their datesheets get not a single cup of tea from the house of Missing Link. Updates to the website are made during weekends only - the slower they happen the healthier an agent I am... Missing Link Productions Ltd has this month has been run by Helena, the lady with the best Missy Elliot impression I have ever seen, Kat, lady in red and Stephanie, lil miss slippety disk. Bye Milly. Come bacl Milly. Miss you already Milly, you absolute peach, you.
