July's Top Picks

-

FILM
Our film recommendation this month obviously has to be Incredibles 2 release date July 13! After 12 years of waiting how could it not be? We can’t wait to see the superhero family on the big screen once more!



MUSIC
Our July album pick is George Ezra’s Staying At Tamara’s. Following his debut album, Staying At Tamara’s is a beautiful second album that shows signs of maturity both musically and lyrically and takes you on a journey. The album is full of enough diversity to keep you hooked by each song whilst maintaining an easy listening flow. Perfect for the warm weather that seems to be continuing into July.


Why not listen to a live video of one of the albums tracks here:

ENTERTAINMENT
Shows to go and watch have to be our current shows on tour! We have The Lady Boys of Bangkok currently in Bristol who will be doing a short theatre tour before landing in Aberdeen. You can view the full list of dates here


   We also currently have our show Spirit of The Horse on tour for the first time in 10 years! Europe’s greatest equestrian theatre show returns with a spectacular new production for 2018 Renaissance. Featuring horses from all over the world this show is gripping from start to finish and the perfect day out for horse lovers! Full tour dates can be found here

FOOD
As our Lady Boys are currently in Bristol we thought it was only fitting to pick a restaurant based in Bristol this month. Wilkes Restaurant is a modern and vibrant restaurant offering creative, refined cooking, as well as an attentive, knowledgeable service from friendly staff in a relaxed, elegant dining room. They champion all that is local - farmers, growers, suppliers. Every dish looks absolutely mouth watering and I'm sure our Lady Boys will be taking a trip there!

BEAUTY
Summer and foundation is a tricky one, your skin tone changes even if just slightly and the heat makes you want to avoid thick and cakey foundations. We went straight to Vogue to see what foundations their go to list.

A brief history of clowns to celebrate Andreea's birthday!

Hip hip hooray! It’s our crazy clown Andreea’s birthday! The lovable Andreea has been appearing in shows with Gandeys Circus for nearly a decade. Now Andreea is actually French – so perhaps we should say ‘bon anniversaire’! We’re proud to have Andreea as part of our current team in the big top at Butlin’s Skegness . While our other clowns – currently performing at Butlin’s Bognor Regis and Minehead – Bippo and Chico Rico are more traditional, Andreea opts to show off her sense of style with an offbeat modern look. We think her pink tutu / Converse / blazer combo is pretty iconic… especially paired with her blasting boombox! (she’s never been shy of making an entrance). Andreea likes interrupting the action with her silly routines. And you know something else… she is the UK’s only female clown! So you could say she’s a bit of an innovator when it comes to clowning around. With that in mind, let’s look at how much clowns have changed ov

200 BC – 200 AD – Han Dynasty, Sichuan Province – Juggler with balls and knives – Carving, stone of the “Hundred Games.” [source: Chinese Acrobatics Through The Ages, p15] The origins of the Chinese circus are not entirely crystal clear. There are debates and differing opinions when it comes to the exact history behind the circus, which is not a surprise when you take into account how long it has been around! First records of the Chinese circus - including carvings and mural paintings - date back more than 2,000 years to the Warring States period (475–221 BC), with evidence of performances developing further during the Qin and Han Dynasties (221 BC - 230 AD). Although it is believed that the art may have actually started around 3,000 years ago! One theory is that the acts originated in imperial courts, with performers entertaining the houses in a manner similar to western court jesters. However, it is more likely that the circus was a folk art that was later adopted by

In honour of International Women's Day and the 'Women in Circus' movement, we would like to share these photos of strong women with whom we have worked - past and present. Women who inspire us here at Gandey World Class Productions , and who influence and empower other women across the world. There are many strong circus women who we have not mentioned here. Please be aware that this list is by no means definitive – there are so many more strong women whom we would have loved to include, and who remain an important part of the Gandey family. The pictures can also be found in a Flickr album here .
