John's Hot Bookings
 
 
Okay, Okay-I give up! One of the harder things about working with so many performers is trying to avoid comparing one with another, since every area of the business and each individual's unique talents are so...well,unique. However in answer to the many people who ask me to recommend acts and events for their own parties, conferences and theatres on this page I'm going to list some performers-some of whom I have worked with, some of whom I have simply seen perform as an audence member myself-but all of whom I think are excellent and won't disappoint you if you book them. 
 
Can't guarantee they will be available on the dates you want-good acts tend to be booked up rapidly-but do tell them John sent you, and I wish you every success with your event!  
 
Sharon-Marie Soul Jazz Diva   
 
Sharon Marie was recently described by The Stage as 'one of the finds of the season', and having been at that same show, I can only agree. Here is a top quality vocalist, classy enough for any corporate event, but modern, funky and up to the minute too. Think the style of Shirley Bassey crossed with the soul of  Beverley Knight and you're close...now visit the website and hear the evidence for yourself.
 
 
 
 
 
CARMEN JONES
 
I recently had the pleasure of interviewing for my Stage column the stunning soprano Tsakane Valentine Maswanganyi and the incredibly versatile Nadine Smith who both both starred in the recent production of Carmen Jones at the Royal Festival Hall London
 
 
     
 
You can read the full interview at http://www.thestage.co.uk/connect/dearjohn/dj0109.php 
but even if you didn't get a chance to see the show don't forget to check out these links to Tsakane's work with the Amici group and Nadine's band Izitu also.
