AMANDE CONCERTS UK
Amande Concerts UK is a concert agency that organises concerts in the field of Russian classical ballet and folklore in the United Kingdom. "We bring to you famous Russian classical ballets such as Swan Lake, The Nutcracker and The Sleeping Beauty. We are also in association with the unique Russian State Ballet - which is called The Big Ballet because each dancer weighs a minimum of 100 kg. In general terms, we would aim to have one to three concerts a year. Each tour can run from six to twelve weeks in Spring and/or Autumn. For any given tour we travel to around 35 to 45 different theatres in England, Wales and Scotland and perform to thousands of people. Our posters will be seen and noticed by an even higher number. We offer the opportunity to advertise on all or just some of our marketing materials, such as posters and fliers (a sample poster is attached as the logo). On average we would print around 4,000 posters, ranging in size from A0 to A4, that are displayed in each theatre on tour. We would print around 150,000 fliers (A5) and around thirty banner stands. In addition to that we offer space in our programmes and on our website. You will be reaching out to a niche market and targeting a specific type of audience. In addition to sponsorship space on posters and fliers, there is the opportunity for a more detailed advert/description in the programmes and on our website. Last year alone our website attracted 12,000 unique visitors". Contact: Alexej Ignatov. Tel.: 07886548334. E-mail:

BATTLE MUSIC AND ARTS FESTIVAL
"The event of the weekend", The Guardian. The Battle Festival of arts and music, held in October, seeks to fund and present major classical concerts and a new music commission to be performed by children from twelve schools, at the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill, a workshop/performance to introduce young children to an orchestra. "We want to take music to people who can't attend concerts through infirmity, at local residential homes and hospices. We want to offer Master Classes on song writing and how to enter the music industry. We present jazz and contemporary music. We facilitate and encourage a visual arts strand, showcasing local and international artists. Most of all we want to encourage and develop talent and enhance people's wellbeing through awareness of, and participation in, music and the arts. The Festival Committee established Battle Festival in 2013. It received considerable critical acclaim and appealed to a wide age group. The committee is managed by a team of creative professionals and educators. Artistic Director Dan Cornford, principle Viola Player of the London Philharmonic, draws on the skills and experience of internationally-renowned performers to deliver our classical repertoire to a rural community. Musical education and outreach projects are managed by John Boyd, former Head of the Hastings Areas Music Service. The inaugural project delivered in 2014 drew together 300 children from six varied schools and, working with East Sussex Hub providers, delivered a programme of music to children in addition to the curriculum. Young musicians (popular music) were provided mentoring opportunities from an Ivor Novello Award winner, songwriting workshops, alongside a Q & A session with industry figures, including BBC Introducing, thus delivering invaluable advice, support and inspiration for musicians at an early stage, an experience not available at school or the rural community. Opera in a Day was presented by Glyndebourne Education Department and we have joint plans for a major collaboration in 2016. A diverse range of Battle Fringe activities was programmed to supplement and enhance the core programme. We will produce a world class music and arts festival that enthuses the local community, boosts the local economy and encourages visitors to the region. We want to make Battle an essential cultural destination for the arts, inspiring new audiences and bringing world-class performers and artists to Battle. We will expand on our 2014 visual arts element, producing a programme for local, regional and international artists, including gallery exhibitions, free talks, workshops, demonstrations and masterclass mentoring sessions. We are partners with Battle Town Council and the Pure Arts Group and are constructing an Arts and Heritage Trail and a competition for a sculpture to be placed on a roundabout. This will foster 'Health and Wellbeing' with participants and audience. In 2016 we will further develop all our art and music streams as part of the celebration of the 950th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings". Contact: Steve Scott.

AMEV/PL012 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.

Kala Phool is an arts development agency that strives to make diverse artforms accessible, fun and low cost. 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. 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.

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.

LINCOLNSHIRE INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER MUSIC FESTIVAL
The Lincolnshire International Chamber Music Festival (LICMF) has been in existence since 2004 with the aim of bringing chamber music of the highest quality to remote areas of our county, and to audiences who would otherwise not have the opportunity for such a wonderful experience. "Using a variety of venues, including churches, country houses and small village halls, we have been able to bring the joy of live music to such communities, performed by first-class musicians with truly international reputations, who thrill their audiences and enrich their enjoyment. We achieve this through the expertise of our Lincolnshire-born artistic director, Ashley Wass, who is fully committed to the festival - he creates imaginative and varied programmes on a different theme each year, and has also included specially-commissioned works in the repertoire which have been given their premieres in Lincolnshire! In 2014 we began a new venture, taking professional musicians into primary schools to give 'workshops' to as many pupils as possible, including many small village schools, and providing a wonderful opportunity for the children; one of our headteachers described our visit as 'a privilege'. These musicians then perform as part of our very successful Lunchtime Concert series at the Lincoln Drill Hall which takes place once a month from September to July. As part of the coming festival in August 2015, we will be including, for the first time, two programmes aimed specifically at very young audiences at Lincoln Drill Hall, one based around Debussy's "Childrens' Corner" (with one of the BBC Young Musician finalists as pianist) and the other bringing a fresh view to Alice in Wonderland, with music from twelve current British composers (including Elvis Costello) and a text by Louis de Bernieres. Our festival is recognised by the BBC as one of the country's leading chamber music festivals. They have broadcast our concerts as part of the Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert series for the past four years and will be returning this year. Any sponsors are acknowledged and thanked in all of our programmes and brochures, and on the website, unless they choose otherwise. Members of the board can be contacted via LICMF's office address at Lincoln Drill Hall, Free School Lane, Lincoln, LN2 1EY, by telephone on 07757708858 or via e-mail on

LIVERPOOL THEATRE FESTIVAL
The inaugural Liverpool Theatre Festival was created in 2020 in response to a lack of cultural events in the city due to Covid-19. It was set up by Bill Elms, who has over thirty years' experience of working in the arts. Liverpool Theatre Festival (LTF) was held outdoors in September 2020, aiming to create both work for artists and a cultural experience for audiences. There were twelve productions over nine days with an audience of almost 3,000. Great effort went into ensuring that Covid-19 safety rules were adhered to, which reduced capacity and created additional costs. Despite the many barriers, the festival was a real success. It received several excellent reviews and already it has been voted Community Event of the Year at The Liverpool Echo Awards. The event has also been shortlisted for a top LCR Culture & Creativity Award for contribution to culture and Bill Elms (Festival Director) was recently included in The Stage's Top 100 most influential people. The festival was praised for its organisation and programme, with calls to make it an annual and a much-needed theatre festival for the city. The festival celebrated talent from across the region with all productions required to have a local connection. Festival Director Bill Elms has now set up Liverpool Theatre Festival to deliver two strands to an annual festival. First, a week-long festival of new work in May called Little LTF, collaborating with Everyman, Playhouse and Unity Theatres, alongside a call-out for submissions. For the first year the programme will present a minimum of ten new pieces of work. Partnerships with companies will ensure that the work tells the stories of the diverse communities in the region. The main Liverpool Theatre Festival will take place at St Luke's Bombed Out Church, running from 1st-12th September and will be a popular choice of professional productions and artists, still with the emphasis on local talent. Both festivals will incorporate a cross section of the theatre genre, including drama, comedy, musicals, cabaret, physical theatre, dance, children's shows and music productions with a narrative. The aim is to grow the festival and bring in indoor cultural venues from 2022 with St Luke's church and gardens becoming the festival hub, incorporating the outdoor areas, bars and creation of a welcome centre. Bill Elms is now looking for sponsors to come on board on the journey to help deliver the much-awaited return of the award-winning festival for 2021 and beyond.

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. Leading companies seeking to encourage and reward great design for the music industry support the Music Design Awards, such as Eye magazine and Art Vinyl. 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. They will also gain exposure in more traditional media such as direct mail, editorial in trade titles, carefully selected display advertising and support from media partners. Contact: Marie Thomas, Operations Director. Address: Music Design Awards (jla), 80 Great Portland Street, London W1W 7NW. Tel.: +44 (0) 20 8675 8405. E-mail: marie.thomas@musicdesignawards.com.

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. 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 good forward bookings". Contact: Greg Francis, Musical Director.

This musical play is a brilliant cocktail of songs and stories from Billie Holiday's life, stirring the haunting memories that plagued her, featuring her greatest hits, God Bless The Child, Lover Man, Strange Fruit, Don't Explain, All of Me and many more, accompanied by an outstanding live jazz band. "The story embraces Billie at her best and at her worst, giving you an understanding of what she had to endure to survive to become the legend that she is today. Her story is timeless and echoes so many artistes in general who embrace the jazz, pop, screen, theatre and rock world. Billie Holiday, the unforgettable Lady Day! The demographic profile of the audience for the show ranges from 15 years and upwards. Our sponsorship packages are tailored to the individual needs of our sponsors, enabling you to achieve the maximum exposure and awareness of your brand, product, service or business.

AMEV/002 Concert in aid of the BABY LOSS AWARENESS CAMPAIGN
October is International Infant and Baby Loss Awareness Month. The 15th October is the worldwide awareness day. "In 2009 and 2011 I organised a charity concert to raise money for the four main Baby Loss charities and to allow people to come together and publicly remember the babies they have lost. It has been hosted by Shane Richie and Les Dennis and is a fun evening with some very moving moments. Recent performers included Tupele Dorgu (Corrie and Waterloo Road), Stefan Booth (Eastenders) and Steps singer Lisa Scott Lee. This year we hope to make it bigger and better. With the help of a sponsor we could get a PR team on board to help sell it out and help raise the profile of the charities even more. We are only looking for £5,000 for the event, as everyone involved gives their time freely. The money would mainly be used to cover the costs of the venue and PR and marketing for the event".

AMEV/004 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/011 EASTWOOD COLLIERIES MALE VOICE CHOIR
Eastwood Collieries Male Voice Choir 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. The choir performs at least eighteen 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.

AMEV/018 LONGPLAYER TRUST
Longplayer is a 1,000-year musical composition by Jem Finer. 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.

AMEV/019 MUSEUM OF ARMY FLYING
If our country had never needed early balloons, kites, First and Second World War planes and gliders, all manner of fixed wing and rotary aircraft and, nowadays, attack helicopters, then The Museum of Army Flying wouldn't need your help now! 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.

AMEV/021 SOUND:CHECK: LIVE AT ST JOHN'S (MUSIC FOR CHILDHOPE)
Sound:check is a night of live music with a difference: artists perform in a manner that best suits the venue. "During the sound check we film a song from each artist to provide beautifully shot and directed HD live music videos (to view these please visit our website). All profits from ticket sales go to the charity ChildHope. Sponsorship would provide the opportunity to be connected to a music event which champions raw talent and musical integrity. We are a very new concept. Our pilot event took place on March 2nd, 2013. Despite this we sold over five hundred tickets and had a special guest appearance from Willy Mason. Consequent reviews and feedback from the night were extremely positive, describing it as 'magic' and 'uplifting'. Each set performed is one-off because of the instrumental set-up. Therefore our videos and audio recordings are completely original. This is a big USP and one that is currently helping to make our videos viral. Due to the acoustics in the church venue and the sound team, the sound quality produced from our live performances is very high. We not only produce high quality live events but also videos that are not to be beaten in the quality of their audio and definition. We secured exclusives in Q Mag and Clash for two of the videos and they have also been recommended by Mercury Prize as well as being re-tweeted by celebrities as diverse as Jon Snow, Charlotte Church and The Fugees. The concept behind the videos is to provide honest but engaging live music videos that compliment the music. This is something we feel is currently lacking in the music industry and the excitement that they are currently generating supports this. We would be delighted to discuss sponsorship opportunities".
