Stunning coastlines

The Isle of Wight is one of the UK’s most beautiful regions with stunning coastlines, cliffs and idyllic countryside. The island has always been a source of inspiration, from Dickens and Lewis Caroll to musicians and bands from all over the world, who have appeared at the famous Isle of Wight Festival. Family resorts such as Shanklin or Ventnor are perfect resorts for youth groups and visiting performers are always made to feel welcome.

How to Prepare Your Students for Concerts on Tour - Part 1

FAQs

Find the answers to some of our most frequently asked questions.

Travelling by coach is the most economical and flexible way to tour. Be collected from your meeting point and arrive at your destination in comfort on air-conditioned, high specification coaches. Enjoy the freedom of your own vehicle whilst on tour and travel in comfort with reclining seats and toilet. More and more groups choose to fly. We can arrange your flights from your local airport as well as from London. Once you have arrived at your destination, we can provide transfers to your accommodation and local coach hire throughout your music tour.

Once your tour is booked, it is safely in our hands. We will only ask for you assistance in understanding your concert requirements and you will be responsible for ensuring that the dates on our checklist are adhered to. Until your departure, you simply need to prepare your musicians musically and compile the tour repertoire.

We work hard to generate excellent attendance at each concert, as we understand that an appreciative audience makes all the difference. We produce eye-catching posters and handbills, which are displayed and distributed in the environs of your concerts. We also advertise your concerts in online and hard copy local What’s On Guides as well as newspapers, by way of press releases. In addition, we invite local dignitaries, music societies and music students to your concerts. Last but not least, we provide you with posters for your concerts, which will be displayed in your coach and placed on your Club Europe poster board at your venue by your tour manager before each concert.
