‘Great at pulling a team together, venues love them’

David Jones, Serious and EFG London Jazz Festival

Co-directors Martin and Tim have over half a century of experience presenting arts, culture and heritage in both the commercial and funded sectors.

‘We’re both in it for the people and the art, we want to keep that connection so we keep the company small’, which means ...

When you book us you get us.

The person you speak to in advance will be the person you see on the day.

Taking great pride in our extended team, we select not only for ability and experience but also for temperament and cultural understanding, doing our best to ensure each project runs smoothly and enjoyably.

From music theatre to sound art installations, from anthropology to international music touring and contemporary art exhibitions, our passion for the arts comes with a sensitivity to the requirements of a wide range of cultures and contexts. Clients have praised us equally for our work with Indian classical musicians, vulnerable young people, internationally renowned visual artists and early career academics.
