I’m proper chuffed! We are back baby!!

We have revived arts council funding to create an outdoor circus show with up to 10 disabled and non disabled performers.

will be directing the show alongside associate director .c

We’d love to connect with more disabled performers based in the East Midlands. Please share and tag people who you think might be interested in this opportunity.

We can pay for travel to get to rehearsals, get in touch if this is required. We will provide lunch for participants in the rehearsals. We will have a creative enabler with us in rehearsals.

Hello lovelies 🙂 Just had this from Layla at Spangle syndicate..

Have you seen these... Some of Darrens friends have come together to organise some fundraisers for the lovely Darren Blair who was sadly taken suddenly and way too young while away on tour working for Disney. These nights are to raise money for his family to cover the ridiculous funds they've had to pay to get his body back to the UK.... I'll be helping with decor and entertainers.... Everyone is welcome. Really good lineup at each event at the Old Cold Store... Daz was a big part of the Nottm music scene and afar. He loved a party, that's how I knew him... So it'll be a celebration to dance like your Daz with some of his dave music and the live acts he was a manager for 🙂...... Please join us and share away x

Spangle Syndicate now aren’t able to do the walk about entertainment. Is anyone free this Sat night? It’s not paid as the aim is to help raise money for Darren’s family.. if anyone is free to do a bit of walk about for a good cause and be involved in this epic night, please let me know..😊🌟😊Xx
