Entertainers have announced that they have taken over Brentwood Live, the entertainment arm and live music venue of the Brentwood Centre.
The family-run business founded by father and son Michael and James Taylor are bringing a new lease of life to the much loved Essex venue. They have made changes both externally and internally. Upgrades to the building have been made and they have changed their management to allow for better venue management as well as more shows per year.
Established for over 25 years, Entertainers produces and/or promotes some of the nation’s most loved shows including The Magic Of Motown, Fastlove, Soul Legends, Big Girls Don’t Cry and You Win Again.
The 1900 seater theatre was once one of the go to stops on many artist’s tours and Entertainers look forward to bringing some of the world’s biggest names back to the town.
The venue has recently undergone a huge refurbishment and the work is now complete with a brand new floor.
Entertainers founder Michael Taylor adds: “Back in 1992 I promoted the Four Tops and The Temptations at The Brentwood Centre and it became my favourite venue. I have great memories of the place and am delighted that we at Entertainers are now able to return that same musical buzz back to the people of Essex and the surrounding areas.”
The Brentwood Centre is a place that Entertainers CEO James Taylor remembers fondly, adding: “I remember as a child going to the Brentwood Centre with my Dad. I remember the atmosphere and thinking ‘wow!’, this is incredible. Just seeing that many people in one space, all coming together to enjoy the music.”
The first shows announced for Brentwood Live include Fastlove, the world’s favourite George Michael tribute show on the 19th October, American RnB star Alexander O’Neal on 1st February, comedian Omid Djalili on 2nd February, Big Girls Don’t Cry on 16th March, Lady Boys of Bangkok on 19th April and The Magic of Motown on 27th April.
