Hi,
The latest ones have just been uploaded.
I’m looking for contact details for the South D street Festival and Buskers Festival….
History.
Bedford entertainment has been running events, venues, supplying and consulting since 1996. We formed The Bedford School Of Music and Performing Arts 7 years ago here in Oamaru while maintaining event provider and management roles all over the south island.
Relationships/Funding
We currently have very healthy relationships consulting and prodding entertainment/sound for many local organizations such as Harbour Street Jazz and Blues Festival, SteamPunk NZ, Fire and Steam, Oamaru on fire and many more. We have previously run events with North Otago a&p show for many years (at sponsorship prices), running Talent quests, showcases and presenting local acts. Our relationships with the aforementioned groups have seen us help them source funding through ticking the youth & cultural boxes among many others.
Pre and post marketing
One of our fortee’s has been our understanding of modern marketing platforms including social media with around 10, 000 followers and a massive reach. We have found our use if pre and post marketing to be very advantageous. This service as well as digital marketing designs are included in every other service we provide.
Options
Star search
Star search would include the traditional Talent quest (Battle of the bands) plus performance slots from bands & entertainers that are currently out in the industry. Winners would also perform Day 2 with slightly longer sets where applicable. We find at events of this kind the more local entertainers that are onstage the more people come to see them once they see the marketing. 1 entertainer will bring an average of 3 or 4 people. This event includes slot of work prior to the day.
Showcases
Our #TheFutureIsNow showcases have proven to be extremely popular with out door events. These include local youth, cultural groups and local entertainers.
DJ and video jockeys.
We have many djs on our books who perform all over Otago and with Canterbury.
Named artists
We have helped in the obtaining of named NZ artists for events and will provide professional sound, lighting & sometimes staging.
