Agence53 Newsletter N° 5

We thought we’d update you on some of the bookings we have fulfilled so far this year at Agence53. These French artistes have been out and about around the Channel Islands, our closest neighbours and fans of French entertainers. Regrettably, we don’t have room here to show you all of the other events and venues our artistes have been appearing at.

La Compagnie de Gros Nez Rouge was on their first ever visit to Jersey. The 6 clowns entertained in the sunshine at the West Show over the two days that it was on in July. They proved to be very popular and are looking forward to going back in two years time when the event is due to be held again.

Quote: - ‘I was directed to your agency by the organisers of the West Show in Jersey last weekend. Myself and a few colleagues were at the show and were very impressed by your performers’.

Groupe Nathalie Drey played at a local bar in Guernsey during the island’s Liberation week-end celebrations in May. You can see them here after they had just been interviewed live at BBC Radio Guernsey.

In August, they were back again playing at various venues over the long Bank Hol weekend. They also performed a short concert live on the street as part of a local carnival.

Quote: - ‘… by the time I left, the place was really busy and the crowd very appreciative, chanting ‘we want more’’

Pierre Marcel sang along to his accordion at the week long Town Carnival in Guernsey in July for the second year running. He has been having English lessons so that he can communicate better with the tourists and the locals. Here you can see him being recorded live on the street by BBC Radio Guernsey.

Whilst he was over in Guernsey he was also asked to play his accordion one evening to entertain the customers of a local French bistro

Jet Blast is a rock band who will be on their first ever visit to Guernsey in November and their first time of working with Agence53. Performing their ‘100% rock’ gig at a local bar we are sure they will prove to be very popular.
