Lollapalooza 2018 Paris

When did you last go to a fantastic festival?

We all love a good bop and the best kind of bop is a bop to some pop. Speaking of pop, there was a promising pop line up at the Lollapalooza music festival in Paris.

The 2-day festival spanned over the weekend just passed (21st and 22nd July). Who have you missed that you would like to have seen?

Here are just a few of the pop artists that delivered excellent performances!


Twenty year old Zara Larsson stole the afternoon on Saturday. Her energy and charisma flooded those around the main stage with her infectious chart hits. She started with 'Never Forget You', ended with 'Lush Life' (of course) and between treated fans to 'Girls Like', 'I Would Like' and even a 'Shape of You' cover originally sang by Ed Sheeran. If you've not listened to this Swedish siren you're missing out! You've probably already heard a 'Symphony' by her and liked it. Now you know it's Zara!

Dua Lipa, 22, was sweating tears when she performed. She blew her large Parisian following multiple kisses (MWAH! X). After her 'Blow Your Mind' entrance, she delivered her finest. This included: 'No Lies', 'Be The One', 'One Kiss' (told you... many kisses) among many more. The singer was not leaving Paris without reminding us of her 'New Rules!' ENCORE - french for 'again'. This London girl gets number ones almost every other week! Is there any doubt why? Dua-check-her out!

Olly Alexander is simply adorable. He's 28 and a part of the band Years & Years. He lit up the alternative stage in the early evening on Sunday. Olly, just like his look was joined by avant-garde dancers: a spectacle to behold. One of their newest ditties was performed first. 'Sanctify' set the scene with other hits such as 'Shine', 'Eyes Shut' and 'If You're Over Me.' He's our little 'King!' Wonder what future lies ahead for this monarch.

That's just a small section of the pop 'pallooza in Paris had to offer! Wonder if the Lady Boys of Bangkok will be performing to these singers. We're 21 next year... so who knows?!

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

Image
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...

Origins of the Chinese Circus

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...

Strong Women in Circus

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 .
