The Sundaes hit the Edinburgh Fringe festival tonight, the first of 6 dates in the Scottish capital. Tickets for the shows are selling fast, so be sure to book ahead by calling 0845 557 6309.

Series 8 of ITV’s The X Factor began last Saturday evening with some stand-out performances by Frankie Cocozza and and Janet Devlin. 18 year old “cheekie chappie” Frankie, charmed the audience and judges with his good humour and Rod Stewart style vocals. Shy and nervous 16 year old Janet, on the other hand, had judge Kelly Rowland “completely in a trance by your voice”. The talented youngster sang Elton John’s Your Song and received a standing ovation at the end.

Other interesting performances included 26 year old woman-on-the-edge Kitty Brucknell, who offered a “great audition” according to judge Gary Barlow and also solicited praise from Louis Walsh who confirmed “you can sing, girl!”.

Our booking agents at our London office will be keeping a close check on the show to see how these contestants progress on X Factor 2011. For information or advice on booking contestants from previous editions of the show, you can contact our office on 020 7836 4759 (option 1).

If you’re heading up to the Edinburgh Fringe festival this year, make sure you don’t miss Kev Orkian’s show which starts this Friday 5th August.

second instalment to his piano playing foreign character.

Compared to the likes of Bill Bailey, Victor Borge and Jools Holland, Kev will have you rolling in the aisles whilst mesmerising you with his piano skills. Kev’s manager, E3′s own David Hill, says “If there is one show you see this year it has to be Kev Orkian’s. Catch him while you can, he is destined for great things”.

With Christmas just around the corner a lot of businesses will now be brainstorming ideas for Christmas gift ideas for clients, suppliers and partners. One of our team just came across this website, 15 gifts, after reading this release. I’ve just tried this site out and the results are brilliant; giving 15 suggestions based on answers to questions about the person I had in mind.

This will be very handy for me. I have a few celebrity clients that I can not think what to get this year. Just got some great ideas for them!
