Performing at the NEC Birmingham

There are certain moments in your career where you suddenly realise you’ve stepped into a completely different world.

For me, one of those moments happened the first time I performed at the NEC in Birmingham.

Up until that point, most of my work had revolved around weddings, private functions and corporate hospitality events. I was comfortable mingling with guests, creating moments of astonishment and naturally moving between groups during relaxed social environments.

Trade shows, however, turned out to be an entirely different beast.
