Founding director Liz Biddle read Music at Aberystwyth University and later gained an MA in Performance Studies at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama. She is an accomplished musician and plays bassoon, piano and guitar. She founded Upbeat Recordings in 1989 to record some of the managed artists - and this has now become firmly established as one of the leading labels for jazz in the UK. She was joined at Upbeat in 1995 by Beryl Korman who graduated with a BA in History from Warwick University before studying singing at The Royal Academy of Music. Beryl was elected Associate in 1996 for distinguished musicianship. She still finds time to sing and her 40s tribute show Forces Sweethearts is touring extensively. The team is completed by Vicki Johnson, who keeps the books up to date – and Luke & Breeze – two wonderful cream coloured golden retrievers who help keep stress levels low!

Our artists regularly perform at top UK theatres and festivals, as well as on cruise liners and world tours. We can offer a wide range of shows for all age groups and budgets from the brilliant WestEnders with The Best Musical Ever through a range of popular tribute bands, including The Cavern Beatles and The Bootleg Doors to the perennial favourites for the older generation Forces Sweethearts singalong 40s nostalgia show, Swinging Down Memory Lane with John Petters Rhythm and a good old fashioned knees courtesy of our Olde Tyme Music Hall.
