Duo SIlks at Blenheim Palace

Nicole Pearson and I (aka Flight of Fancy) were asked to perform duo silks for a private party at the beautiful Blenheim Palace in Oxford. In addition to the dozens of celebrity guests in attendance, we were lucky enough to be sharing the bill with the Scissor Sisters! Click here to view the video!

Hereford and Worcester Chamber Business Awards 2012

I was booked to perform aerial silks and hoop alongside Jack Cushion, a local star from the west-end aged just 15, singing live.

Champagne Pouring at a Wedding in Florence, Italy

I was invited to perform alongside Cole Conner at a prestigious Russian wedding in Florence, Italy.  We performed Champagne Rain - the innovative concept of aerial bar tending. We poured champagne for the guests in a beautiful glass marquee at a villa in the countryside. We were performing along side LMFAO and Quest Pistols (infamous in Russia apparently!) A memorable evening indeed.

Festival No.6 - Heliosphere in Portmeirion



I performed The Heliosphere (by The Dream Engine) at Festival No.6. Described as ‘bespoke’ by its organisers, this September's Festival No. 6 achieved an eclectic bill and satisfied crowds, an achievement that would no doubt be admired by the flamboyant creator of its host village: Portmeirion. The line-up included Primal Scream, Gruff Rhys, and New Order.

A couple of videos can be found here and here!

Aerial Cider Pouring at a Vintage Circus Event


For the second year in a row, I was invited to perform at a vintage circus event in Chippenham! As the event had a rustic feel to it, Nicole Pearson and I took along our aerial rig for the day and do some aerial cider pouring!

Performing alongside us was a hula hooper, stilt walkers, acrobats and some Victorian Strongmen and an excellent band.

Heliosphere at Piccadilly Circus Circus


Piccadilly Circus Circus was one of the Mayor of London's SURPRISES events – big performances which are only revealed hours before they take place. Across twelve stages between Conduit St and Waterloo Place trapeze artists, jugglers, gymnasts, dancers and beat-boxers wowed audiences with their spectacular feats. Of course the heliosphere was there to entertain the crowds!
