James Bond 007 / Vegas Casino Evening

» Profile

If you want to make your event really memorable and a great success then why not create a Themed Casino Evening?

Themed Casino Evenings bring all the fun, excitement and atmosphere of a real casino and combine it with sensational live entertainment. Our Roulette and Black Jack tables are full sized and all the equipment is just what you would play with at a top casino. Our croupiers are true professionals, specially selected not just for their expertise or appearance but for their ability to make people feel comfortable.

Don’t be nervous about having a flutter, guests will be given a set amount of ‘fun money’ to gamble with, to be exchanged for chips at the table of their choice. At the end of the night guest’s cash in their chips and a prize is presented to the player who has been the most successful. This style of event is perfect as a fundraiser for a local charity. The full evening can pay for itself and raise additional money for the charity of your choice through local sponsorship and by charging a nominated amount for each chip.

You can choose how to theme your evening, it might be a 007 Bond Evening with the main entertainment provided by Miss Julia Martin the UK’s No.1 Shirley Bassey tribute. You can add character appearances, table and room decorations, even an Aston Martin. Imagine James Bond, Jaws, Odd Job or the delectable Bond Girls mingling with your guests during the casino part of the evening and then a finale finish from the Dame herself… Legendary Dame Shirley Bassey in her show stopping original gowns.

Alternatively you may wish to theme it around a Las Vegas Evening. Your fun starts at the casino tables and then moves onto the main entertainment provided by Miss Julia Martin and her breathtaking tribute to the ‘Lady Of Vegas’ Miss Celine Dion. You can add to your theme night with table and room decorations and a sprinkling of guest stars, such as Marilyn Monroe to entertain any birthday boys and the scintillating ‘Star Light’ dancers with the world famous ‘Can Can’ routine.

If you want to add the Wow Factor to an event, then let us put together an evening of entertainment that your guest will be talking about for many months after.

» Julia Martin And Her Tributes

Julia Martin is one of the most versatile and sought after tribute artiste in Europe. Her position in the tribute market is unrivalled, she has worked around the world, appeared on television, sang to over 12,000 people in a single open-air concert, played at theatres & conference centres and been booked to entertain on cruise ships, at leading hotels, corporate events and golf clubs. Julia’s record speaks for itself with over 200 shows a year she is consistently re-booked and receives tremendous reviews wherever she appears. Regardless of where she is performing Julia offers… sex appeal, audience participation, stunning costume changes, vocal impressions that are spot on and a portrayal of the original artiste that is second to none.

Julia’s dedication and attention to detail for the artiste she portrays is what makes her show so special and her amazing ability to mimic both the voice and movements would leave you thinking that you had seen the original artiste. Julia’s shows have been running to great acclaim for over 8 years and are provided on playback with full PA, lights and a dedicated sound engineer.

Julia Martin works all round the world and is a frequent visitor to Dubai, where she hosted the New Year Eve celebrations to over 600 distinguished guests who would you believe paid over £400 each to attend the performance. Julia also recently worked for Vodafone providing the entertainment at the incredible Zofin Palace in Prague and has recently been booked to fly out to Beijing to host a number of events during the 2008 Olympic Games. Bookings closer to home can range from the North of Scotland to the Southern Coast of England and travel distance to any venue be it in the UK or the other side of the world presents no problems.

Dame Shirley Bassey:
A unique production paying tribute to the biggest diva of them all - ‘Dame Shirley Bassey’. This singing legend needs no introduction, her unwavering global appeal spans more than four decades and as many generations. In this show Julia captures the instantly recognisable voice of Dame Shirley and combines it with a passionate delivery of every lyric.
The BBC in a recent interview with Julia cited her has the UK’s No.1 Bassey tribute. Julia matches Shirley’s magnetism, stage presence and extravagance of gowns every step of the way and she is the only Shirley Bassey tribute artiste in the world to own not one - but seven original Bassey gowns. This was brought about by the successful purchase of these incredible and totally authentic gowns from Christies of London. Each of these unique gowns has its own profiled history and between them they span over 50 years of Shirley’s success. The gowns alone would make this a show worth seeing, but add to this Julia’s stunning portrayal of Dame Shirley and you have a show in a million!

Miss Celine Dion:
A superb show featuring the incredible talents of the fabulous Miss Julia Martin paying tribute to the biggest selling female artist of all time - CELINE DION.
This will be one of the hit tribute shows of the year recreating the songs from her 2008 World Tour ‘Taking Chances’ and ‘A New Day’, Celine’s number one hit show from Las Vegas.
Sit back and be entertained with all of Celine’s greatest hits from her first USA number one ‘The Power Of Love’ in 1994 to her latest album releases.
You can also combine this show with Marilyn Monroe who will mingle with your guests and sing some of her classic songs… ‘My Heart Belongs To Daddy’, ‘Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend’, ‘I Want To Be Loved by You’, ‘Girl From Little Rock’ and for special birthday guests a personal rendition of ‘Happy Birthday’.

» Other Show Options

Miss Julia Martin is a unique tribute artiste with the amazing ability to be able to perform more than one tribute show. She is recognised around the world, presenting tributes to Celine Dion, Madonna, Dame Shirley Bassey, Tina Turner, Anastacia and a stunning theatre style multi-tribute show Lady Legends. All of these incredible shows have been running for over 8 years and are constantly in demand from venues both in the UK and overseas.

Unique to Julia is the combination of artistes that can be performed in any one show. You have the traditional Solo shows which include all the above, alternatively you have the option of booking a double or multiple tribute night, where any of these artistes can be combined to provide a fantastic mixed night of tribute entertainment. The transformation between artistes is so complete that on a multiple tribute night people in the audience cannot believe the same person has performed all the tributes.

Julia is often booked to provide a full evening of entertainment, thus reducing the costly exercise of paying for more than one tribute artiste. On multiple tribute nights she can provide up to 3 hours of incredible entertainment often using a compère to keep the flow of the show during character and costume changes. This type of show was used to great effect recently during a series of 6 prestigious Award ceremonies for a leading blue chip company. These events took place throughout the UK with Julia’s brief to provide non-stop tribute entertainment from 9pm until midnight.
