Londons Dress Circle Closes

Londons DRESS CIRCLE closes

This is an article from the DRESS CIRCLE web site. Outlining the sad news of its closure. For years it has supplied many of the Jay T Singers with music and CDs and will be sadly missed by all.


"It is with regret that we announce that on 15th August 2012 the Dress Circle shop in Covent Garden, London will be closing its doors for the very last time.
Over the past months we have tried in vain to negotiate with our landlord to move our shop into smaller and more cost effective premises. The cost of keeping Dress Circle open in the current location is too high, and it has become apparent that we will not be able to dispose of our current lease. The downturn in the economy has also taken its toll on us, as well as the ever changing way that people are buying music. With CD’s becoming relics and downloads being more popular, Dress Circle, the shop, has struggled to keep up for a long time and we have reached the point that we are no longer able to continue.
We were hoping that the 2012 Olympics might bring in some much needed tourism to the Theatre world and bring some customers through our doors, but Monmouth Street is even quieter than usual and so it seems are the rest of the shops in London. It seems that all of the press coverage about the difficulties of travelling during the Olympics has scared many away from visiting the West End.
The public want us to survive, after all how else did we manage to sell out over 1000 seats for the Dress Circle Benefit Gala last August at Her Majesty’s Theatre (we would like to thank the Really Useful Group for donating the use of the Theatre). This event came about because the industry, the stars and our customers care about us, and wanted to help us to survive. The Gala was a fantastic evening, with stunning performances from all of those involved and we are eternally grateful for all of the effort that was put in by everyone to create this magnificent event. The Gala and the publicity surrounding it provided us with a significant though short lived increase in sales. Unfortunately the Gala provided us with little direct financial benefit and the increase in sales was not sustainable through the recession.
The Dress Circle website will continue to trade and supply the very best of Musical Theatre all over the world, as it has always done. We have plans currently underway to improve the website and we hope to be bigger, better and more musical than ever before.
We hope that all of our regular customers and new ones will continue to support us as they have done in the past. Dress Circle will continue online and remain an important part of the Theatre community. We hope to somehow, somewhere, continue with our signings and look forward to meeting our loyal customers once again. For more information please visit www.dresscircle.com.
With thanks to everyone that has supported Dress Circle over the years
From,
Michael, Richard, John, Andrew, Aggie, Chris, Helen, Mark and Murray."

Jason Taylor got in touch a while ago to have some individual promo portraits done for marketing, social media etc and also a group portrait session for 'Four Voices.'
Here are some of the portrait shots of Jason that you may have seen in my porfolio on the website.







It was also great to see one of my group shots for the Four Voices making it into Dorset Life magazine and their programme for the show at the Regent Centre in Christchurch.







They provide several types of entertainment options so it's well worth checking out their website: www.jaytsingers.co.uk.
Jason also lays on a Michael Buble Tribute act and so recently wanted some fresh promo shots taken for some related marketing and album covers with a different look and different lighting setup:

A Day in the Life of a Singing Waiter

Date – 28th May 2011

Function – Wedding of Matthew Carter and Melissa Krigu

Location – St Ouen Manor, Jersey

Show – The Three Waiters

I thought it was about time you found out exactly what happens when you spend a day being a singing waiter, with the famous “The Three Waiters”. So I’ll take you through an exciting trip to Jersey from London, Uk.
On the 28th May 2011 we were invited to sing at the lovely Melisa and Mathews wedding on the sunny island of Jersey. For me (Jason of Jay T Singers) it was an early start, leaving Bournemouth at 7am to drive the delightful M3 and M25 to Gatwick airport. As usual we all make our separate ways to the airport and it wasn’t until the departure lounge I met up with my fellow performers for the day.  Mr Robin Green would be playing Jean-marc and Mr Anders Sohlman who would be our head waiter Alfredo.
At 11.15 we take to the skies and quickly land in Jersey only 40 minutes later , although this didn’t stop Robin having one of his amazing instantaneous sleeping sessions (I don’t know how he does it but I wish I could sleep as quickly as he does).
As you may have already worked out jet lag was not going to be a problem, so we hopped into the waiting car and got swept of to a marquee in the amazing grounds of St Ouen Manor (pronounced “ONE MANOR” apparently).

We were met in the marquee by Jim Le Gros to do a sound check with us. It’s always important for us to set the levels of the tracks and voices to the venue, to make sure the clients get the best performance possible. After that we meet the Caterers “Harpers catering” who kindly lend us aprons and ties , so we can blend in seamlessly.
At 1.30pm the first guests arrive and as we blend in with the staff serving them, the Groom asked the MC, Bruce Jones if the Waiters had arrived, to which he replies “you just took a canapĂ© from him”.

It’s always good fun for us when we serve canapĂ©s and drinks to the guests when they arrive, it’s a big part of the Three Waiters show that everyone believes we are just ordinary waiters. As usual the sight of us serving their customers brings much amusement to the real staff, who are happy to play along.
At 3.30 the guests are called through by the MC and it’s not long before the starters have been served.
Alfredo makes his first announcement at this point, introducing himself to the audience as the head waiter and wishing the happy couple all the best. This is a great way to introduce Anders to the audience as Alfredo the dashing head waiter. Alfredo is met with applause as he leaves the dance floor.
As the starters are cleared and main meals laid, we wait for a signal from catering that all the food is down and drinks have been topped up.
We are now ready to start a show that will surprise, amaze and amuse
When we nearly reach the climax of our show with Nessun Dorma we are met with a sea of smiling happy faces, standing and applauding whilst waving napkins in the air.

It doesn’t matter how many times you’re faced with a standing ovation it’s always a thrill to know, that the audience has enjoyed the show.
So after all that, there’s nothing left to do but have some pictures taken and hand out cards to excited couples.
So that’s it, we jump in a taxi, get on a plane, fly back and return to our respective homes.
After a long day, it’s always great to know that the client was happy with the show and everybody enjoyed themselves.
The Jay T Singers are proud not only to be in the Three Waiters but also to be an official distributor of the show in the UK

Success in Ponta Delgada

Portugal with The Three Waiters



Singers - Jason Jay, Joe Shovelton and Robin Green

On the 5th April 2011 we were invited to perform the Three Waiters show on a beautiful island in the Atlantic ocean called Ponta Delgada, Portugal.
Our hosts for the evening would be a selection of dignitaries from Portugal and their tobacco industry which was celebrating 145 of business. Present at the function would be the president of Portugal, the Mayor of the local town and some governmental representatives.
After two, two hour flights from Heathrow airport we arrived late on the evening of the 5th, being met by the organiser of the event Fransisco Lopes and our personnel help for the trip Luis Banrezes (who we found out later was a well know local radio DJ).
Our hotel was modest but clean and food had been organised for our arrival in true Portuguese style, four courses with fish , fish and more fish.
The next morning our infamous guide Luis took us on a car trip around the island to see the sights, which included the amazing steaming volcanic pools that bubble and spit boiling water all day and night. I will never forget the strong smell of sulphur that filled the air and the look on the boys faces as we realised our feet were getting warmer as we stood near by.

Then it was of to an amazing volcanic pool where we could bathe in the natural warm water and smear some strange orange mud on our faces ( it took 2 days to get it off completely). And yes if your wondering i did have a strange tangoed look about me for the rest of the trip.
Followed by yet another fish meal we were back to hotel to ready ourselves for the evenings events.
That evening we were met by many paparazzi and body guards and warned that they might not be very responsive as this is all new to them. (That builds your confidence).
As it happens the sound, lights and staff were great and we were met by a very responsive audience who waved there napkins in the air and sang along to all of the songs. Followed by the President of the Tobacco company coming to our dressing room and asking for an encore of Nessun Dorma. How could we refuse.
After all these years of being in The Three Waiters it never fails to amaze me the reaction you can get from an audience doing this show. It encapsulates good music and comedy which can entertain people from all over the world.
It was a great trip and we have been asked to go back to perform at other functions and hopefully i can write another blog about another adventure.

Singing to Bonnie Tyler



Last year The Three Waiters, were delighted to perform at the very beautiful wedding of Rhiannon Stock & Mark Bailey , which was set in the glorious rolling countryside of Powys Wales.

In addition to the wedding party itself who all looked fantastic, Rock Diva Bonnie Tyler was amongst the invited guests and happily posed with our delighted performers after the show.Mark Lanahan, Peter Snipp and our very own Jason Jay “They were fabulous”, she said.”Absolutely amazing!”
Quite the compliment from such a legend.
