Bush Hall Showcase 20 & 21 June 2011

Here we enjoyed a must-see showcase for anyone involved in selling the case of UK acts on the cruise scene to American clients and others. A scintillating big screen set-up, accompanied by a thumping soundtrack set a suitable corporate tone as the guests gathered. The Barry Robinson Orchestra and the stage crew all proved quite an asset here, with adequate time allotted for sound checks, the links and the fills appeared almost seamless.

Jonathan Blackburn’s company deserves all the showcase back-slaps for finding the right venue and an excellent sound and light crew to service the event. A comfortable audience is invariably a fully-engaged audience and this really was a treat. It is always hugely encouraging when showcase organisers make the job of attending such events as easy and pleasurable as this one.
