and the associated Christmas event; Children’s parties and
Halloween parties; the local Scouts group; and Primary Schools
in both Bridge of Weir and Glasgow.
Stephen’s passion for the entertainments business goes back many
years and he recalls working in some of Glasgow’s premier clubs,
including the now famous “King Tuts Wah Wah Hut”, and the world
famous “Sub Club” which celebrated its 25th year last month. More
recently though, last year he gigged in London for “Steelcase” and
next month he is booked for a major gig in Manchester.
He has amassed an impressive array of the latest state of the art sound
and lighting equipment, including lasers and lighting projection. All
aspects of any event can be arranged from themed props to balloons.
Stephen said, “Our aim is to make your event, no matter what type it
is, one to remember.”
Catch Stephen on Gala Day (13th June) if you are in need of a
professional “gig”, at an acceptable budget.
