Event Management

With years of experience performing at events, I’d like to think I know what will work best and I’m a dab hand at ensuring all events I’m involved with are well organised and stress free for my clients.

One of my main clients is the fabulous Retro Festival

UK’s Biggest Retro Festival

UK’s Biggest Retro Festival

For 6 years I curated the Vintage Marquee at one of the UK’s largest vintage festivals, Retro Festival which has allowed me to work with some fabulous musicians over the years. Not only did I run the Spitfire Pavilion but I also organise and direct the Spitfire Cabaret and the Fashion show.  Over the last few years we’ve expanded this festival and there are now two festivals a year, Newark in June and Newbury in August.

Due to Covid-19 they were unable to run both festivals but to not disappoint their fans and followers, I worked closely with them to put on a day of Retro Festival online. I ran the Spitfire Pavilion (vintage marquee) as usual and booked Vintage Styles, The Bowkers, Adam Hoffman & Rosy Apples and The Jive Aces as part of our entertainment. You can watch the full day on the Retro Festivals YouTube Channel.

Here we are as Vintage Styles performing online for Retro Festival 2020. You can watch more acts and enjoy an afternoon of retro entertainment, fashion and cars at their online festival.

Nicola Anne took over the Spitfire Pavilion at Retro Festival in 2015 and it has grown in size and custom hugely during this time. The Spitfire Cabaret increased from selling 200 seats for her first year to being a sell out show, with over 1000 seats sold within two years.

Over the years Nicola Anne has become a friend, as well as a colleague and is always a pleasure to work with. She is professional but fair and has brought some great talent to our stage. She really knows what works best for audiences and has been an asset to the Retro Festival. I wish her lots of luck in all future endeavours.
