Comedian of the Month – Barbara Nice

Friday, February 26th, 2010

Barbara Nice has been a long standing favourite in the E3 Artists office. Performed by comedienne, Janice Connelly, Barbara’s riotous live shows have been a huge hit with many of our clients. Her character based comedy is both endearing and very funny. Performing as a Northern housewife, her show includes a sequence of crowd surfing to the sound of Iggy Pop!

The E3 Artists team believe Barbara Nice is one to watch in 2010 and, as a result, she has been voted this month’s “comedian of the month”. For details on Barbara’s availability, contact one of our booking agents at our London office.

Band of the Month – Staines Tanzi

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

Our booking agents are often approached by clients looking for affordable bands for hire. With the majority of professional four-piece bands now costing over £1,000 to hire, it can be difficult to secure high quality acts on lower budgets. One option to consider is to hire a professional duo or trio. Staines Tanzi are an excellent example (see the video below).

Staines Tanzi are a perfect choice for creating a relaxed ambiance at weddings, functions and corporate events. They can also provide a more uptempo style where required. With their fee as low as £500 for duo bookings, they are also an ideal choice for event planners working with lower budgets. The quality of their performances wins them our “band of the month” accolade.

For an accurate quote to hire this band please contact one of our band booking agents at our London office on 020 7836 4759. For further information on Staines Tanzi visit our bands page.
