Entertee Hire Services continued its move into the advertising arena for several major festivals this summer including Radio 1's Big Weekend, Leed festival and Reading festival. 

Since 2010 Entertee have offered discounted fencing rates to Production companies in exchange for managing their poster & Ad Banner campaigns in partnership with a leading advertising specialist.

"This is a perfect synergy for Entertee to be involved with as we can manage the logistics of erecting the advertising, and have become specialists in designing our products to be advertising friendly. 
Festival promoters benefit from favourable rates and advertisers know that they will get the most effective promotion, so the response from all our stakeholders has been positive"
Reece Tee, Director.

Alongside traditional bill posters, in 2010 Entertee launched Ad banners.  These allow scrim and vinyl banners to be installed along the top of our fence lines.  This creates much greater visual impact and prevents defacing and over-posting. 
With these new banners in mind advertisers are able to design high impact campaigns specifically for the Ad banner system.

The London Feis Festival was extremely well received by the media and public alike.

After a 7 year break the Fleadh Festival was re-branded and re-launched as London Feis and returned to Finsbury Park to be headlined by Bob Dylan, Van Morrison and Thin Lizzy.

Despite the rain the festival had a fantastic atmosphere and Dylan's set finished with 3 classic crowd pleasing hits. Thin Lizzy bought the show to a close with an energy filled set and proved the new line-up works as well as the old.

The festival consisted of three stages, the smallest of which supported some emerging talent such as the superb Steve Smythe. Stage 2 hosted impressive sets from Shane McGowan and Imela May.

The diverse line up meant there was something on the bill to cater for all tastes and age ranges.

Festival Director Gill Tee said;

Local Authorities were very supportive and we had a great crew on board which really did make all the difference to the festival.

The entire festival crew worked tirelessly to ensure the event was well received.

Entertee founder and Hop Farm Festival Director, Gill Tee, has been selected to sit on the judging panel for the Event Production Awards 2012.

Gill will join the list of event industry heavy hitters on the panel who have all been selected due to their great reputation, experience and longevity within the event industry.

The Hop Farm Festival 2011 was a huge success; by far the best line up of the summer, with fantastic performances from the Headline acts who gave the audience the rare treat of set list's peppered with all the Hits!

The Eagles opened with "Hotel California", Morrissey surprised everyone with a veritable "Smiths Greatest Hits" set, and Prince selected the best of the very best and delivered a set filled with energy and genuine enthusiasm for the performance; hailed by the public as even more impressive than his sell-out O2 dates.

The festival was even blessed with one of the sunniest weekends of the summer, and was one of the few festivals to escape the dreaded British festival mud! Great reviews followed the stunning performances, including a page Cover Story in Access All Area's Magazine. To read a copy of this story click the link below……

Entertee were delighted to be the production company for London Feis 2011

Bob Dylan headlined the Irish music festival in the capital’s Finsbury Park on Saturday 18th June 2011 for an exclusive UK performance. The festival celebrated 21 years of the best Irish and International music in Finsbury Park.

Vince Power, founder of the Mean Fiddler Group, Hop Farm Music Festival and operator of Benicassim Festival, was responsible for 14 Fleadh festivals at Finsbury Park which was a staple on the London music calendar from 1990 until 2004. Continuing on from where the Fleadh left off, London Feis steppes in with a fresh outlook: Irish in flavour, international in reach.

Vince has hosted some of the biggest names in Irish and International music and the London Feis will be a celebration of all the acts Vince has worked with over the years.

Festival boss Vince Power said:

The inaugural London Feis is a fantastic edition to the capital’s summer calendar and announcing Bob Dylan for an exclusive UK performance means that the first year was one to remember. I’ve worked with Bob many times before and am delighted to have had him back once again.

The festival saw the best Irish and International music had to offer on three stages at London’s Finsbury Park.

Entertee was once again the production company for the fourth Hop Farm Festival.

Global icon PRINCEheadlined the Hop Farm Music Festival for his only UK show.

The festival was extended to a third day to give fans the chance to see Prince in this exclusive one-off UK performance.

It was  the first time Prince has played in the UK since he broke sales records at a 21-date residency at the O2 arena in 2007.

This made the 4th annual Hop Farm Music Festival, which also boasted headline performances by EAGLES and MORRISSEY, the biggest to date.

Maintaining its NO SPONSORSHIP, NO BRANDING ethos, the Hop Farm stuck to the winning formula of showcasing legendary and contemporary acts, making it a standout fixture in the congested festival calendar.

Vince Power, the Festival organiser, said: “I am really excited about having Prince at the Hop Farm, we have worked hard to get the third day up and running and we hope that fans will appreciate the integrity of the bill and see it’s one of the most musically exciting this year that stands head and shoulders above a lot of other festivals”

Prince joined other big names: Iggy and the Stooges, Bryan Ferry, Lou Reed, Brandon Flowers. Patti Smith, Death Cab For Cutie and many more…
 

Entertee founder Gill Tee talks to Access All Areas Event Industry Magazine about being the Festival Director at the Hop Farm Music Festival.

“We depend on a lot of people, from the cleaners, to security and technicians, and Gill has a great way about her. She’s stress free,” Power says. “There’s no big tantrums, she gets the best out of everyone.”

Said Vince Power, Hop Farm Festival Promotor of his Festival Director, Gill Tee.
