Are you a talented musical artist aged 18-25?

Channel 4 want to hear from people from all musical backgrounds (rockers, rappers, pop performers etc.) who have real star quality for a chance of a lifetime music project.  They will be put together and mentored by renowned and talented writers, choreographers, artists etc. and will, over 10 weeks living together collaborate to put together a one hour live performance on T4.  The show will document them as they work together in preparation for this final event.

 

Please only apply if music is genuinely your all-consuming passion, you’ve got bags of personality and you have what it takes.

For your chance to be part of this exciting project please send demo, picture & biog to: T4 music show, Unit 74, 22 Notting Hill Gate, London W11 3JE

The Derren Brown Phenomenon Returns!

Following his appearance back in May 2006, Derren Brown returns to Plymouth Pavilions on Saturday 19 May 2007.

If you’ve seen Derren Brown live before, you’ll know how mind-blowing his stage shows are. This is his third tour and it is expected to sell out as quickly as the last, which won the coveted Olivier Award for Best Entertainment.

If you only know him from his Channel 4 shows, you’re in for a real treat. Apart from being the best thing to happen on television in years, his pioneering blend of psychology, illusion and showmanship makes for a stunning theatrical evening in the hands of a master performer.

Derren Brown is, without doubt, a phenomenon.  His Mind Control and Trick of the Mind programmes together with his Russian Roulette and Séance specials for Channel Four have established him as a hit with both viewers and critics.

There’s nothing like it anywhere else in the world: don’t miss this!

Press & Promotions Officer atPlymouth Pavilions,

Robert Maltby said: “Derren Brown is guaranteed to put on a great show, he has a fantastic reputation for being able to have complete control of the audience, their moods and reaction’s. The show is heavily dependant on audience participation which really adds to its magic.”
