| AMT/PL001 | BEGINNERS PIANO Sheena Munro is a music teacher/songwriter who has written a musical theatre adaptation of the novel by Eleanor Farjeon, Martin Pippin in the Apple Orchard. Ms Farjeon has written some eighty novels, many poems and her most famous song, Morning Has Broken. All the songs are original, comprising twenty-two musical numbers, including solos, character songs, three ballets, a maypole dance, a blacksmith's tap dance, an overture, a theme song done for a solo and chorus, and a hymn in eight parts. Beginners Piano already have some interest from a West End theatre which has assured them that they will make themselves available to see the show. The show is for all ages but should appeal most to children and teenagers, at whom the book was originally aimed. However, there is enough going on to entertain everyone. They have written permission from the Farjeon Estate to proceed with this production and if it is successful to possibly write a sequel. The cast of twenty-seven and orchestra are all from Edinburgh and the surrounding area and it is a great opportunity for them to show off their talents. The libretto, piano libretto, CD and orchestrations are now completed and the organisers would be happy to send the package to anyone interested. Contact: Miss Sheena Munro.

The name and logo of the sponsor would be included on all promotional material, including tickets, leaflets, posters, press releases, etc. Branding can be displayed about the site on the day of the concert at various locations (including entry to venues, stage, site, ticket checkpoints, etc.). Logos printed on street banners at entrances to towns. Further options can also be discussed. Venue capacities range from 300 to 10,000, depending on the programme.

| AMT/PL005 |  SOUTHERN FIRE Southern Fire is a two day outdoor music festival aimed at showcasing South Africa, her culture and her people through music on a global stage. It is a celebration of South Africa and her talent and will present South Africa's best musicians across all genres of music to the people of London. "Why Southern Fire? As a South African living in London, I meet people who continually ask me about home, the politics, the people, wildlife, nature and music. Through these conversations I began to see the need to promote South Africa and bring her people, culture and talent to the fore. Thus the idea for Southern Fire was born. With South Africa set to host the FIFA World Cup of Football in 2010, and along with our unique fauna and flora, it is a great time to be South African and to promote my country to people of other cultures. The aim of Southern Fire is to bring people from different cultures together, to share in a day of celebration of South African music and culture. We want Southern Fire to be an awesome experience for all involved, to birth a seed into London that will continue to grow and allow us to celebrate our great nation annually, abroad. Southern Fire is not a charity event. However, one cannot ignore the impact on Africa with regards to AIDS and HIV. We plan to donate a percentage of every ticket sold to a charity of our choice. Southern Fire is an ideal opportunity to raise awareness and bring exposure and information on a subject that has often been ignored. Our ultimate aim is to make Southern Fire a successful and annual event". Contact: Clayton Cook. Address: 106 Fishponds Road, Tooting, London SW17 7LF. Tel.: 07806 663909.

| AMT/001 | AWARDS FOR YOUNG MUSICIANS Giving awards worth £55,000 per year to individual talented young musicians towards instrument or tuition costs is only part of what Awards for Young Musicians (AYM) does in trying to help them to achieve their potential. AYM also aims to help families struggling to meet the costs of having a musically talented child by collaborating with other music organisations. The projects the organisation has devised provide opportunities for young people to, say, borrow a small-size or outstandingly good instrument; attend a specialist ensemble course; or participate in local masterclasses. Sponsorship opportunities exist for all these projects, which are eminently “brand-able”. Involvement in supporting “excellence” in the community is something that potential sponsors would consider a valuable addition to their public perception, say AYM. Director Bridget Sime would be happy to talk to anyone interested in either providing awards for certain categories of instrument, eg “76 Trombones” (or fewer!); or learning more about their collaborative projects. Patrons of AYM are Richard Baker, Nicholas Daniel, Sir John Drummond, Evelyn Glennie, Nigel Kennedy, Sir Jonathan Miller, Murray Perahia, Sir Simon Rattle and Marisa Robles. AYM has support from many leading trusts and foundations and from Allianz Cornhill Musical Insurance. Contact: Bridget Sime, Director.

| AMT/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.

| AMT/005 | KARUNA RECORDS Karuna Records (founded 1996) is currently seeking sponsorship for a series of (classical) CDs, designed to promote young performers. The series comprises five discs, all of which are based around 20th Century music, with some unrecorded works. The sponsor’s company logo will be integrated into the cover design and the back page of the CD booklet will be available for the sponsor to place an advert. In addition to this there will be an interactive CD-ROM section on the CD which will have space for more advertising with links to websites, etc. There will also be an opportunity for a radio style advert at the end of the disc. Promotional plans include magazine advertorials/advertisements and a series of concerts. Karuna tell us that they have already had interest from the music press, with articles promised for later on in the year and intend to create as big an impact on the classical music world as possible. They are also trying to interest a TV production company in making a documentary on the making of the discs. They would also be available to your company for promotional activities. The main aim of the series is to promote very talented young performers - as they are the future of classical music, not digitally remastered performances from the early 20th Century as some record companies would have us believe. Karuna Records want to involve industry, through sponsorship, as they believe that a partnership between the arts and industry is the best way that the future of classical music can be secured in a world that is awash with popular culture.

| AMT/008 | 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 10 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.
