In Preparation – St David’s Hall, Cardiff

Saturday the 18th February 2012, Killer Queen will take the stage at the St David’s Hall, Cardiff. The near 2000 seat venue is almost sold out, so an impressive show is in the planning. A few tweeks to the stage set for this one methinks…..

See you there & enjoy the show

Killer Queen – Live @ The Swansea Grand

As January draws to a close this industry starts to pick up, people are getting over the frivolities that are the Christmas Season and feel they are ready to party once again – ready to ROCK!

And that’s how we find ourselves preparing to depart for the first ‘Killer Queen’ show of the year, Patrick and the Boys will be rocking the house at the Grand Theatre Swansea Friday 20th January.

If you going have a great time and maybe we’ll see you there, pictures should be posted here and to our facebook page next week.

Have a good one and ROCK ON!

“Beauties & The Beast” RSC Courtyard Theatre

Thom — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 14:19:32 +0000

The busiest weekend of the year so far and in amongst it all a special one (two) of “Did I Mention The Free Wine?” Felix Dennis poetry reading featuring special guests Escala. We made one or two changes to the set for such an impressive venue and it all went according to plan and the show went off without a hitch. A good job too, the whole event (both days) were being filmed by Endemol for a special programme to be aired in the early part of next year (2012) on Sky Arts 1. A crazy, hard but rewarding weekend to start our December 2011 run of events.

A Happy Client

A recently received thank you and testimonial:

Class Act, is exactly what it says on the tin!! What an appropriate name for this company. We held an Oscars Themed Evening at Pinewood Studios and Class Act provided the whole production for the event. They totally transformed the historic building into a magical Hollywood production, complete with our own personalized Hollywood Walk of Fame! From the first step off the coach, all of our guests were mesmerized and wowed by the transformation from the entrance, through the walkways and to the Ballroom. No stone was left unturned and the attention to detail in this production was flawless. It made you feel that you were actually at an Oscars Event in Hollywood. Mick recommended, booked and project managed all of our entertainment for the evening. This included Captain Jack Sparrow, Captain Barbosa and the pirates and also the Hollywood Paparazzi, simplifying the process and having one point of contact. The set building and design was truly stunning! Class Act were able to transform dark corners, hide imperfections and mask areas that we didn’t want to be on view, thus generating the whole illusion. From Class Act’s amazing chequer dance floor that looked like it was part of the existing building to soft lighting, props and table centerpieces…. the teams eye for detail and artistic imagination is astounding! If you want a company that can think outside of the box, has an Aladdin’s cave of props and can build fabulous bespoke pieces to suit your requirements, plus project manage the entire production… we recommend Class Act wholeheartedly.

Busy Summer

Thom — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 12:20:36 +0000

Well, it’s been hectic from Aylesbury Armed Forces Day, Theatre Shows with Killer Queen and RMAS Commissioning Balls to name but a few we have been all over the place. We now have a couple of weeks slower time to relax and get some servicing done – but it’s only the calm before the storm that is the Christmas season, starting with two nights at the RSC Courtyard Theatre at the end of November. It’s not exactly a secret but we will let you (poetry lovers) know when tickets are on sale.

Sunday – live from Pinewood

Thom — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 22:06:54 +0000

Well here we are Louis’ barmitzvah just after 11pm and we’re still alive (maybe not kicking though). Ready for a good nights sleep and clean up before a quiet weekend before Armed Forces Day.

Awooga, Awooga, Busy Weekend Alert!

Thom — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 18:56:07 +0000

Don’t be surprised if you see one of the vans around the Midlands and West & North London areas this weekend – damn we have a busy one ahead. Rugby Business Awards (Back for the sixth year) is in a new venue on Friday with a wedding in Ware as well Saturday in Milton Keynes and Hedsor, all converging at Pinewood for Sunday. Back to normal (what is normal) on Monday phew!

Bank Holiday?

Thom — Sun, 29 May 2011 14:36:36 +0000

A bank holiday for most people, but for us the busiest Sunday of the year (so far). Spread between Pinewood Studios, central London and the Lake District. No peace for the wicked they say, but we’re not really that bad – are we?
