Gina Larner joins the TALENTBANQ Roster

Posted on March 16th, 2022 by James Gamble

It is a pleasure to welcome Gina Larner to the TALENTBANQ roster.

Gina totally bowled us over when she played our Music Room venue at The Colonel Fawcett in Camden.

She’s a singer/songwriter from Brighton, whose original songs are a mixture of beautiful folk with influences of country/pop-rock.

Gina’s reviews describe the performances as having “bewitching folky tones and weaving an intoxicating spell of guitar…” (SLAP Magazine).

Gina has opened for Westlife singer Brian McFadden, ‘Atomic Kitten’ Natasha Hamilton on her solo album tour, as well as country/rock icon KT Tunstall.

We look forward to presenting her at TALENTBANQ shows in the very near future.

Half A Million Thank Yous

Posted on January 21st, 2022 by James Gamble

Last night at The Camden Chapel TALENTBANQ presented a cheque for £500,000 to the artists that had just performed.

At an intimate 40 cap venue this was certainly not the box office take for the night.

It actually represented the fees paid to Independent Artists and Technicians since the company was founded in 2017.

Ray Jones – CEO at TALENTBANQ commented:

“What started as an idea with fellow founders Lord Mervyn Davies and Pablo Ettinger has grown into something quite special. We found a group of incredibly supportive investors and have since sought to discover, nurture and promote great independent talent.

It’s been a roller-coaster ride, especially with the challenges of the last two years but last night just showed the importance of supporting the grassroots music scene in London.

The Masters Degree students of Tileyard Education staged a stunning show at our Camden Chapel venue. A glimpse into the future of live music.

We would like to thank everyone who has supported us along the way. 

It’s our ambition to turn half a million thank yous into a million.”
