"In February 2004, the Informa Group hired 4 Poofs And A Piano to perform to an international audience at the annual Lloyds List Awards Dinner at the Park Lane Hotel in London. The awards are recognised as the Oscars of the maritime industry, honouring the great and the good in shipping."
Once again our brief was to provide a short opening number for the ceremony and to suggest appropriate song titles to introduce the 14 award winners.

"Having seen 4 Poofs & A Piano on the Jonathan Ross show, performing apt introductory songs for guests, the idea of adapting this to an evening of awards presentations seemed appropriate. |
|
However, to depart from this well-established and very traditional approach and introduce more glitz to the event was indeed a risk. 4 Poofs And A Piano went down an absolute storm. Every song performed by them, as winners went on stage to receive their awards, was received in a way that, in my opinion, no other kind of performance could come close to. |

I cannot praise them enough for what was a truly professional and polished performance and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them to other clients.
Thanks to 4 Poofs And A Piano the Lloyd's List Awards Dinner was transformed
and the Informa Group and our guests will definitely be back for more."
