When it comes to the company Christmas party we have a wealth of options whether it is a lively covers band or a professional DJ we know how to give the guests a night to remember. This Christmas season was no exception and we had bands like Alpha Connection at Merchant Taylors' Hall, Abba Tributes at the Renaissance Chancery Court, DJ's at Blenheim Palace and the Grange Hotel St Pauls as well as lots of mix and mingle acts such as magicians, caricaturists and mindreaders at many venues throughout London and these were just a few of the many events that we covered

Spencer House Events



Our entertainers regularly appear at Spencer House in London a truly stunning 18th Century Palace that has been totally renovated to its former glory and is situated in the centre of London overlooking Green Park. It's a great venue for receptions especially on a warm summer's evening when guests can stroll out onto the terrace overlooking the gardens. We usually provide classical string quartets and harpists mixed in with mellow jazz bands that are perfect at creating atmosphere for our client's events

Schrodinger's Cat Tuesday 12th October

.


We were delighted to be asked to provide entertainment for the President's Reception for the Chartered Institute of Taxation in the Earth Galleries at The Natural History Museum. The President wanted a 'science' themed event based around quantum physics and in particular the Schrodinger's Cat experiment where the theory goes that an animate object can be alive and dead at the same time. Schrodinger's hypothetic 'experiment' stated that you put a cat in a box with some radio active material and a bottle of cyanide and if one atom from the radio active material were to leak it would break the bottle of cyanide and the cat would be killed.
This was a testing request from a client to re-enact the theoretical experiment in front of the guests but this we did with the use of an actor playing schrodinger a funny, yet imformative script and the help of a few props including a 'Bagpuss' for the cat. We also provided stilt walking aliens, Arbie a very helpful robotic waiter, a jazz band and three wonderful caracaturists
