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: ignal@gmx.net.

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. 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.

KALA PHOOL
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
(Please contact for latest opportunities) 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. 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 licmfoffice@ntlworld.com".

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".

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.

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.

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. Contact: Frank Ottersbach, Trust Manager. Address: Longplayer Trust, 183 Norwood Road, London SE24 9AF. Tel.: 020 8671 4968.

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.

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".

TENBY ARTS FESTIVAL
Tenby Arts Festival is an annual event offering a diverse programme of music, dance, drama, poetry, art and talks featuring local, national and international artistes. It opens with a weekend of family entertainment launched by a grand parade through the streets of the town prior to the main cultural repast spread over eight days in late September. In previous years, performers have included Julian Lloyd Webber, Evelyn Glennie, Luminita Berariu, The King's Consort, Katherine Jenkins, Kerstin Doelle, Noriko Ogawa and a host of others. Tenby is a beautiful, medieval, coastal resort in Pembrokeshire, West Wales. The Festival is a registered charity and, following the loss of Arts Council funding, is heavily dependent on sponsorship to maintain this important event for visitors and local residents in an area deprived of access to the arts. Contact: Diana Lunn, Secretary. Address: 24 Penally Heights, Penally, Tenby, Pembrokeshire SA70 7TH. Tel.: 01834 845341. E-mail: dialunn@tiscali.co.uk
