THE THREE WAITERS
Brilliant opera singers for any event.
The unique concept of The Three Waiters involves three talented and highly entertaining opera singers dressing and hoaxing as ‘real’ waiters before grouping together to take the audience through a highly amusing, yet sophisticated show.
Subtly, the performers infiltrate the function as members of the ‘real’ waiting staff. However, all is not what it seems… The audience is given no clue of what is about to come. Over a period of time, and to the surprise of the guests, an unexpected story unfolds culminating in a performance of true ‘Three Tenors’ style.
Be it a dinner party of ten guests or a ballroom of two thousand, the unique structure of the show, along with the vast repertoire and experience of each of the performers allows the act to be easily customised to suit your particular requirements.

VINCE EAGER
Legendary pop star.
VINCE EAGER is a name synonymous with British pop. As a member of the legendary "Larry Parnes stable", along with Tommy Steele, Marty Wilde, Billy Fury and Joe Brown, Vince became a household name.
In the early days of pop, the press were reluctant to give credit to the live stage work of the members of the pop establishment. Vince was one of the few who did receive due recognition for being a true professional.
Throughout his 45 years in the entertainment industry, the consistent factor has been Vince's success as a live performer. From his cabaret and theatre appearances to his 5 year starring role in the award winning West End musical "ELVIS". Vince continues to receive the plaudits of the press, his peers and his audiences.
Vince's easy going manner, his rich powerful voice and his commanding stage presence have stood the test of time.
Anecdotes from the heady years of working with, and befriending, both Britain's and America's major stars have extended Vince's popularity to the chat show, after dinner speaking and lecture circuit. Presenters and their audiences being amongst Vince's new admirers.
Audiences as distant and diverse as Australia and Zimbabwe continue to add to Vince's international legion of admirers.

The Planner Checklist along with a list of recommended venues in London and range of other material for you to download and use has been assembled into our information library.
