Musical experiences for teams and businesses
[ FILM | The Professionals | The Blooze | Masterclasses | Corporate jams | Entertainment ]
Together with John Howitt, a session musician and professional teacher with a track record stretching from BBC's Strictly Come Dancing, to playing with Anastasia, Celine Dion and Shirley Bassey, we offer engaging events on how to get the best out of creative people by reference to members of rock and pop's monarchy and with musical demonstrations and audience participation. Click Riffs and Myths of Leadership to see an example of our work.

We can also access a range of music celebrities, old and new, on request. Some offer engaging talks as well as performances of their classics. In other cases we offer a 'question time' format where you interview them about specific aspects of their lives e.g. how to be continuously creative, how to reinvent your career, dealing with the media / fame, high level presentation skills and so on.
Blowin' the Blues away - Motivation through 'misery'
We offer an amazing educational and satirical pre-dinner or after dinner speech, punctuated with virtuoso performances of a wide range of blues and jazz music, new and old. Read some mildly ironic pieces on The Blues and The Business Blues.
We have a diverse range of musicians, from a piano virtuoso, to bizarre combinations of experimental instrumentalists who use 1930's synthesisers and all out rockers. Live instruments, musical saws, computer-based creation - whatever takes your fancy. Check this version of Bohemian Rhapsody out, played by our multi-instrumentalist Sam Laming on a Ukelele! We often combine these people with our keynote addresses to make your event unforgettable.
