| AMEV/PL001 |  ADELANTA EVENTS - CHOIRS IN QUIET PLACES The Choirs in Quiet Places choral workshop and concert is an annual event taking place in January in Southwell, Nottinghamshire. Choirs and individual singers are invited to attend, and come from Nottinghamshire, the East Midlands and Yorkshire, as well as further afield. The day begins with a choral workshop (sectionals and massed singers) in a local school, led by an internationally-known musical director, assisted by other professional singers and musicians. One or two major pieces are selected each year as the centrepiece for the workshop and concert. In the afternoon, the singers come together with an orchestra to rehearse for the evening's concert, which usually takes place in Southwell Minster. Choirs in Quiet Places has now run twice successfully, and the organisers, Adelanta Events, are looking for sponsorship partners to support the programme, and also to explore the possibility of extending the concept to an event specifically for Youth choirs and musicians. "Sponsorship packages start at £250; but rather than dictating packages and benefits, we would like to work with potential sponsors to design a tailor-made programme which will achieve the sponsor's aims".

| AMEV/PL002 |  BEARDED THEORY MUSIC FESTIVAL The organisers of Bearded Theory Music Festival invite sponsors to consider the attached sponsorship proposal (see download button below) for their popular music festival, which is held annually in Derbyshire. Whilst the event has received a lot of press this year, they want to ensure the festival continues for years to come as a market leader. In an online poll from an industry publication, Bearded Theory was recognised as one of the best UK festivals alongside Glastonbury, Reading, Leeds and the Isle of Wight Festival. Bearded Theory is often listed alongside the five major UK festivals and this is a compliment to how Bearded Theory's brand vitality has flourished over the past twelve months. The organisers are now looking for sponsors to support the festival brand for the first time in the event's history. The festival can offer a lot in return, which is why they are inviting potential sponsors to peruse the attached proposal, to see the opportunities on offer to any sponsor or investor. They have already secured three prime time national TV slots for successful sponsors to announce the partnership, which can be aired within the next three weeks. Sponsorship opportunities range from an investment of £500 to £30,000. "We thank you for considering our proposal and should you have any questions or if you would like to arrange a meeting, please do not hesitate to contact me on the telephone number below. We look forward to welcoming you as part of the Bearded Theory family". Contact: Richard Bryan, Event Director. Address: 18 Cleobury Close, Brockhill, Redditch B97 6TG. Tel.: 07824 611628.

| AMEV/PL004 |  CHURCHILL - THE MUSICAL CHURCHILL - The Musical is a brand new stage show written by Derek Charles Ash and Trevor Holman, which portrays both the private and public life of Sir Winston Churchill, from his loving marriage to Clemmie, through to his retirement from all forms of public life. Sixteen brand new songs (demo CD available), each of which has been carefully crafted to create the appropriate musical feel, style and atmosphere, help portray not only the very loving relationship between Winston and Clemmie, but also show the great humour and razor sharp wit for which Winston was world renowned. The show presents an entertaining insight into both the public and private life of the man voted by the British public 'The Greatest Briton to have ever lived'. CHURCHILL - The Musical is scheduled to have its opening World Premiere Gala Night on Saturday, 2nd October, 2010. The writers and producers, both of whom live and work in the Algarve, are still in discussion with several UK theatres, but they decided that as the show was written and created in the Algarve it would be only right and proper to have the opening world premiere in the Algarve. CHURCHILL - The Musical will be a co-production with the Camera (council) of Lagoa and the location will be the excellent 300 seat modern theatre in the town of Lagoa, with a special 'Red Carpet Gala Night' for the world premiere, followed by a week long run including two matinees, before the show moves to other theatres and locations. The show is being directed by Ray Jeffery, whose career in the theatre encompasses over four decades, during which time he has directed over a thousand musicals and two hundred plays, including the 'off London' world premieres of Fiddler on the Roof, La Cage Aux Folles, Billy and Les Miserables. Work has already started on the various aspects required to put on the show, such as basic set design and build, props, costumes, wigs, lighting scripts, music scores, arrangements and choreography, and Ray is now busy casting in the UK. The show will have an onstage cast of thirty-two, with twenty professional actors, singers and dancers flying to the Algarve from the UK and an additional twelve cast members drawn from Algarve auditions. A very experienced and highly professional backstage team of stage director, choreographer, wardrobe mistress, wig master and lighting designer is being assembled by Ray from various UK theatres and together with a stage crew from the Algarve a team of approximately fifty people will be working on the show. Tickets will be on sale from April onwards and a very exciting future is predicted for the show. The show is costing approximately £100,000 to stage and interested sponsors and investors should contact the writers and producers by initially emailing: trevor.holman@arc.eu.com. For more detailed information on the show, click the link (below) to the website. Contact: Trevor Holman. Address: Quinta do Retiro, Sitio Pés do Cerro 314Z, Moncarapacho, Algarve, Portugal.

| AMEV/PL006 | CLOUDCUCKOOLAND/OP PRODUCTION Cloudcuckooland is a music theatre comedy for kids and their families. It's riotous, funny and a touch irreverent, but carries a serious message about not messing up the planet. It's performed by six actor musicians who play twenty-two instruments between them; the musicianship is stunning and a great inspiration for kids. It was created in the Spring of 2008 with an initial one-off grant from the Onassis Programme and toured the UK, then played for a month at the Edinburgh Festival. It got excellent reviews, much feature coverage and was nominated for the Total Theatre Awards. The Observer picked it in its top seven pieces of theatre at the Edinburgh Festival from thousand of shows. Most importantly, for the company, it has fabulous feedback from kids, parents and teachers. The story follows an attempt by the birds to take revenge on humans for trashing their habitats. It features a gallery of beautiful and hilarious bird characters (the trombone-playing flamingo on stilts, and the trumpeting dodo with his zimmer frame) and culminates in the chickens trying to roast Gordon Brown for Sunday lunch unless he agrees to their climate change demands. The whole project aims to be ecologically sound and practice the message it preaches, but with with wit and humility. The company was helped in the creation of the show by a number of organisations, from the RSPB to the Carbon Trust. Many programmers from the UK and worldwide saw the show in Edinburgh and want to book it. One commented: 'I just wanted to say how impressed I was with Cloudcuckooland in Edinburgh. I thought it was unique, exciting and streets ahead of all the other children's shows at the Fringe'. The company would love to take the show to more kids around the UK and the world (together with a programme of workshops and participation events). However, they need a sponsor to be able to do that. They envisage this will be a company whose priorities are children getting involved in music and the arts and/or spreading a message of ecological responsibility in a fun way. The company can • Put the sponsors name and logo on all print, adverts, press releases, mailings, posters, etc. • distribute flyers/product samples with their mailings and at events • have display material in foyers • include adverts in their programme • host the sponsor's guests, with complementary tickets and entertainment opportunities • and be extremely grateful! The project is managed by Helen Eastman at OP Production Ltd.. Helen has a strong track record in producing and managing large scale arts events and UK and international touring. "We have raised a proportion of funds needed from donations (donors include Dame Judy Dench and Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney) but need to secure £10,000 of sponsorship. We hope to find a great working relationship with a new sponsor". Further information, a selection of photos and reviews and examples of previous print and programmes are available on request.

The ELVIS Trilogy This theatre musical comprises three significant periods of Elvis' life. To begin with the audience is taken on a journey through the early years of Elvis' career, from the popular Hillbilly Cat to the King of Rock 'n' Roll represented by Paul Malloy. The next part of the journey visits the spiritual life of Elvis and the backbone of his musical influence through his passion for Gospel music portrayed by The Rockin' Rev, Steve Caprice and gospel choir. The journey continues with Elvis' most famous period as the King of Entertainment in The Concert Years, performed by Craig Jefferson. The Finale is an interpretation of the gospel show that Elvis was due to take on tour, had he not passed away, featuring all three award winning Elvis stylists and the cast.

| AMEV/PL009 | GOSPEL FRONTIERS LTD. Gospel Frontiers is a company committed to supporting and promoting Christian and gospel music in the UK. The company actively supports upcoming Christian and gospel singers, singer/songwriters, groups and choirs, and increased sponsorship will assist in the ability of Gospel Frontiers to have a greater effect with these. Gospel Frontiers currently manages Beatrice Muniu, who is an active performer at numerous events and concerts throughout the year. The company has available for sponsorship a number of artists who are already well known, in addition to Beatrice Muniu. Gospel Frontiers also hosts a number of websites and is also looking for sponsorship for all or any of these. Generally this would be on an annual basis, reviewed at each year end. The company provides promotion of events and the opportunity for various companies to advertise at one or numerous events through tickets, programmes and advertising leaflets and posters. Gospel and Christian music is an emerging market in the UK - and this will be growing. Coupled with a strongly-focussed web presence, already a growing source of global and national trade and advertising, Gospel Frontiers is confident that, in conjunction with those that it represents, it can be a benefit to the sponsor's company and its advertising requirements.

| AMEV/PL010 |  THE JAM FOUNDATION The JAM Foundation boasts a unique position as the South East's premiere charitable organisation that targets the promotion and progress of 'wannabe' musicians. In January 2009, JAM Foundation was inaugurated and its first event took place during March and April, 2009, at Tunbridge Wells' renowned live music venue, The Forum. Affray! at The Forum was a huge success, pitting ten bands against each other over a series of four nights. All of the bands were local musicians and the level of competition was intense. The final saw Where's Billy against Blind Archers and the judges votes were split between the two bands, with Blind Archers narrowly taking the acclaim as Affray! 2009 victors! They also secured the first prize of a three and a half day recording contract with Audio Sorcery. The JAM Foundation's audience is a mixture of young and old. Audience figures for Affray! topped 600 over the four nights and its Facebook group currently has nearly 1,000 members. With a recent association with Paul Dunton, who is responsible for the annual Local & Live Festival in Tunbridge Wells, the JAM Foundation now has a link in to over 12,000 people in Tunbridge Wells and surrounding areas. The next major event is planned to run for three months from September to December. JAM Raw! 2009 sees yet another 'Battle of the Bands' format, akin to Affray!, but will include twenty bands/singers/songwriters, each competing over seven nights with a target of being crowned JAM Raw! 2009 winners and a three day recording studio session with Audio Sorcery. Looking towards the future, JAM Affray! 2010 will return in the Spring and current ideas will involve forty bands taking part, with the chance to win an amazing prize, unlike any ever seen before in the 'unsigned' category of the music industry. The long term goals of the JAM Foundation are discussed on the organisation's website, along with some highly interesting content and information. Contact: Mark Nicholson, Chairman and Event Co-ordinator. Tel.: 07926 367545.

Currently not core funded, Kala Phool needs financial support from like-minded organisations that want to work with it. Projects Kala Phool develops and delivers include the Brighton Hip Hop Festival, which boasts a position as the UK's largest celebration of Hip Hop culture. Kala Phool currently works globally with existing and emerging partners, as well as those from across the UK, pushing the boundaries in making all the artforms under the Hip Hop 'banner' visible. The festival was five years old in 2008 and Kala Phool are keen to have sponsors come and support their vision - they are open to more than one supporter. • Mother India 21st Century Remix - this project is currently under development and involves the rescoring of the iconic and Oscar award winning Indian epic, Mother India. It will be produced using the talent of the world's top Turntablist, bringing the film to a fresh new audience with India and Pakistan's independence as its inspiration. • Frieze Box - imagine, a box covered in canvas in the middle of your town, school or on a roundabout, with artists working on it in rotation. This is the concept and currently Frieze Box is being developed to work with younger people, in schools and with national festivals. It's a way of taking the art to the people and allowing them to have a go. Quality is foremost in Kala Phool's visioning and the agency works with the best of the best, the most respected and credible artists ... but also in their own right they value Kala Phool's work. Kala Phool works to support under-developed artform sectors that may not necessarily have a voice. It advocates on strategic, national and international levels with a variety of agencies.

| AMEV/PL013 |  LEEDS PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY The chorus of the Leeds Philharmonic Society is a chorus of national standing which regularly broadcasts for the BBC, and which has made a number of commercial recordings. Its members are all amateurs, however, and the society is largely self-financing. The society is looking for sponsors for two areas. First, to enable the chorus to undertake an overseas tour of some 100+ singers to Budapest, Bratsilava and Prague, without the financial burden being totally on the chorus's individual members. The society anticipates having to meet the cost of travel and accommodation, together with the cost of an organist, orchestra, soloists and music hire in the host countries. Secondly, to contribute to the cost of those concerts the society promotes itself, outside of the Leeds International Concert Season. Again it is looking at the cost of a conductor, orchestra, soloists and the hire of Leeds Town Hall or another venue. Sponsors will be fully credited on all promotional material both in the UK and in Europe and the society is open to discussion on more innovative ways to celebrate any partnership.

| AMEV/PL015 | MARRYING MEG Marrying Meg, a Scottish musical comedy by Highland Perthshire-based writer Mark Robertson, has won a place in the world's most prestigious festival of new musicals. The New York Musicals Festival, which stages thirty shows every autumn in midtown Manhattan, is a hotbed of up and coming talent, many of its productions moving to off-Broadway, some even to Broadway itself. Hollywood keeps an eye on this scene for possible future film adaptations. Marrying Meg is the festival's only UK show this year, and the first Scottish musical ever to win a place in this world-renowned event. To date, Marrying Meg has been a runner up in three major musical writing competitions in the UK, including Cameron Mackintosh's Highland Quest for a New Musical in 2007. It has been lauded by several major theatrical producers and artists including • "The songs are really charming and for once don't sound like anyone else", Cameron Mackintosh • "... wonderfully funny and tuneful ... a hugely engaging and memorable show ... It's rare for someone to have such a talent for lyric-writing as well as a real gift for memorable and exciting show music. We love it", George Stiles and Anthony Drewe • "Mark Robertson has a talent well worth nurturing", Tim Rice. Several big-name Broadway personnel are already on board, including Tony-nominated choreographer Christopher Gattelli and five-time Tony-winning costume designer William Ivey Long. The cast is to include major Broadway performers Michael McCormick (The Producers, Curtains) and Jill Paice (Scarlett O'Hara in Trevor Nunn's Gone With The Wind). The production team is now seeking funding and sponsorship from companies or individual benefactors keen to be associated with this high profile, high quality product. Overall financial needs are modest at £30,000 to £40,000. Two US sponsors and one UK trust fund have already come forward. Sponsorship of £3,000 to £5,000 would rate inserts in programmes, banners on posters, front of house display space and joint billing with all other producers. Mark Robertson was born in Dundee, trained as an actor in Edinburgh and now lives in Blairgowrie. He performed in drama and variety productions across the UK before spending several happy and successful years in several West End musicals. He has written for numerous TV productions, his latest being a new Saturday night sitcom which he is developing with Aardman Animation for the BBC. Contact: Mark Robertson.

| AMEV/PL016 |  MUSIC DESIGN AWARDS The Music Design Awards recognise designers, worldwide, for the outstanding work they do for the music industry, at every level. To those in the know, designing for the music industry takes hard, hard work and real innovation - strokes of brilliance underscored with inspiration - leading to spectacular end results. Design for the music industry is unrelentingly challenging and occupies the minds of the world's most inspired, leading-edge designers and design houses. The Music Design Awards represent an opportunity for designers around the world to enter their projects for clients. The awards are truly global in context and open to designers from all regions. There are sixty-two awards to win - eleven project categories across five music genre groupings and seven continental region categories.

The organisers of the Music Design Awards are keen to foster longer term relationships with partners/supporters and build enduring two-way relationships, ensuring supporters benefit from positive exposure and the Awards benefit from the credible support of companies for whom the link between design and music is important. Supporting organisations will benefit from electronic media exposure (in the form of website and editorial content), email activity, e-bulletins and e-ads on search engines.

| AMEV/PL017 |  THE NATIONAL CONCERT ORCHESTRA OF GREAT BRITAIN The National Concert Orchestra of Great Britain was formed with two specific remits: (a)to provide valuable work opportunities for graduate music students; and (b) to perform music repertoire which is commercially feasible and desirable. The orchestra itself is basically fixed at thirty musicians and is expanded to forty-five musicians on occasion. The repertoire performed ranges from 'Popular Classical' to 'Light Popular' and a variety of concert performances, not limited to its recent Bat - the Symphony tour (the music of Meatloaf), Abba - the Symphony, A Festival for Christmas, which features the widest range of popular classical and Easy Listening. The concert performances also include The Last Night of the Proms, which is given a more 21st Century approach (as were the highly successful BBC Proms 2007 with Michael Ball), The Vienna Proms, which are appreciated by a wider public than most orchestras realise and A Festival of Film, which plays the most popular film music from the American Billboard Top 100. In 2008, the orchestra was the only professional British orchestra to perform a concert of music to celebrate the centenary of composer Leroy Anderson (Sleigh Ride, The Typewriter, Belle of the Ball, Blue Tango and twenty more very popular tunes) whilst in America and Scandinavia - almost every orchestra performed a concert of his music! The sponsorship opportunity is for a person or persons, with a genuine interest in a wide genre of orchestral music, to participate in the development of the orchestra, its players (who are mostly in their early twenties) and in overseeing the presentation to a wider public of music repertoire other than the heavy classics. "As Musical Direcor and Conductor of the orchestra", says Greg Francis, "my own experience has been in writing orchestrations and conducting some of the well known orchestras, including five years with various of the BBC (light) orchestras in the 1980s and the German Radio Orchestras (NDR and HR Frankfurt). I have most recently orchestrated for and conducted two programmes of popular music for the RLPO (Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra) which have been extremely popular with the wider public. As I am now sixty-two years of age, I have the personal time and resources to provide most of the musical orchestrations to the orchestra free of charge, and so none of the sponsorship money would be used for this purpose. To sponsor one concert of any of the above music programmes would require an input of up to, but not exceeding, £5,700.00, to guarantee against any unexpected losses. We do not require sponsorship to purchase instruments or music parts. The orchestra has forward bookings for 2010 and into 2011". Contact: Greg Francis, Musical Director.

The programme takes place mainly in city venues and also includes free-to-the-public outdoor events.

| AMEV/002 | BELOW STAIRS MUSICAL (for cancer research) Below Stairs, premièred in May 2002 in Chesham. All future stagings will generate money for Cancer Research UK Ltd., as the composer has good cause to thank such a charity, having survived cancers of the colon, liver and lung. The aim now is to mount a production at a large theatre, such as the 1,000-seater Swan in High Wycombe, with the realistic expectation that £25,000 upfront sponsorship will generate at least double that for Cancer Research UK. The resulting high profile exposure will then stimulate the UK amdram circuit to put the show on, thus generating a stream of cash in the future for the charity. “Below Stairs” is a tuneful, feel-good musical set in 1914 at the outbreak of WW1, its star being housemaid Lucy. The website www.BelowStairsShow.com gives full details of the show’s history, its plot, the rave reviews, the cast demands, and so on. Scores and libs are available for assessment hire. There is a warts-and-all video of the première but the show has changed a lot since 2002 and the intention now is to produce a top-quality video of the July Staines production, along with a cast sound recording on CD. Among the show’s fans are BBC newsreader Patrick Lunt – who augmented the chorus sound in the first production – and actor/writer Simon Williams (Major Bellamy in TV’s Upstairs, Downstairs), who describes the show as ‘fabulous’. Sponsors of the proposed large-scale charity production will double their investment for cancer research, delight audiences with a feel-good show with memorable tunes and create a stimulus for other amateur operatic societies to stage the work to benefit charity.

| AMEV/012 | EASTWOOD COLLIERIES MALE VOICE CHOIR Eastwood Collieries Male Voice Choir, which this year is celebrating its eighty-fifth anniversary, was formed in 1920 by a group of enthusiastic colliery officials. Originally called the Eastwood Collieries Officials Male Voice Choir, it consisted of around a dozen men. By the middle of the first year the word 'officials' had been dropped and membership increased to around forty voices. During the early days membership was made up solely by the mining community workforce but as the mining industry reduced in size in recent times, members from outside the coal industry were welcomed into the ranks of the choir. The present membership of over fifty is made up of representatives of many trades and professions, with only a few retired members of the coal industry remaining. The choir's repertoire is varied and includes traditional male voice arrangements as well as pieces from other countries and languages. Being well versed in other languages, the choir is equally well travelled and the highlight of 2003 was to be invited to attend the Yorkshire Cancer Research Festival Concert held at the Royal Albert Hall in London. The choir performs at least 18 concerts annually in England and Wales, raising vital funds and awareness for many local and national charities, including private wedding ceromonies. Sponsorship is needed to enable the choir to perform more concerts, replace existing uniforms and equipment and extend the choir's ability to attract new members through new tours and venues, forging links with local schools and colleges, targeting all age groups and offering them the joys of singing to these persons who might not normally associate themselves with male voice singing.

Originally commissioned by Artangel, Longplayer is now cared for by the Longplayer Trust, a non-profit organisation with charitable status. Longplayer, generated by computer, is situated inside London's only lighthouse at Trinity Buoy Wharf. The music has been playing since December 1999 and is scheduled to repeat itself by December 2999. The trust is planning to build a device to generate Longplayer mechanically, parallel to the computer. The machine will be using 250 Tibetan singing bowls and be up to ten metres high. The estimated cost is £2,000,000. In order to raise the money, the trust has to produce a feasibility study, which will cost about £30,000, and is therefore looking for sponsorship support from sponsors who share their passion for time, in the hope that the project can be sustained for future generations.

The museum celebrates over 100 years of flight, is home to a national collection of military kites, gliders, aeroplanes and helicopters and, with imaginative dioramas and static displays, traces the development of Army flying from pre-World War One to the modern Army Air Corps. It has an educational wing for children, hands-on and interactive exhibits, room for conferences, corporate and private parties - and it is situated right next to a working airfield at Middle Wallop in Hampshire. The museum is a charity and relies solely on admission fees, event money and the generosity of donors. It badly needs funds to expand in order to house further aircraft at present in store or out on loan, to improve and modernise its cramped archives, develop workshop space and double its education facilities. The museum hosts Music In The Air, its one big charity fund raising event of the year, when the a crowd of 12,000 enthusiasts who come to picnic on the grass airfield listen to music and watch dazzling aerial displays in the skies above them. The event is highly popular, always a sell out and the museum is looking for sponsors for it. Contact: Alison Brierly, Marketing Director.
