Following the success of the 2013 and 2014 Salisbury Fringe Festivals of bite-size new plays in pubs and cafés, the city gears up for the October 2015 Salisbury Fringe (2 to 4 October) with a free-of-charge Fringe Preview evening of new short plays – written by local writers and performed by professional actors at The Cloisters pub and restaurant, Catherine Street – on Saturday, 9 May.

There will be two performances, starting at 6pm and 8pm, of the six selected ‘Short Cuts’ new short plays that will make you gasp, laugh and cry! The programme comprises: ‘Killjoy’ by Lesley Bates; ‘Fireworks’ by Lucy Bell; ‘Meat’ by Joe Ledbury; ‘The Slipper Salesman’ by Linda Morse; ‘You Can Hide the Earth with Your Hand’ by Jon Nash; and ‘Mortal Coils’ by Pete Talman.

Commenting on the evening, Julian Demetriadi, Chairman of the Salisbury Fringe, said: “We were inundated with new plays for consideration for the 2015 Fringe Preview evening; and the high standard of writing made it extremely difficult for our experienced selection panel to make the final choice of six. The chosen plays make for the best free, not to be missed entertainment in Salisbury; and we look forward very much to welcoming new and existing theatre-goers on 9 May.

“The beauty of putting on short plays in an informal setting – covering everything from comedy to tragedy all in one evening – is that there’s something for everybody to enjoy, whilst relaxing with a good drink and experiencing enthralling, quality theatre. We are fortunate to be supported by a first-rate team of professional actors and a highly talented artistic director in Andrew Thackeray.”

“2019 was a truly great year for the Farley Music Festival, and CommunicationsPoint somehow managed to exceed the already very high standard of previous years with our publicity,”

Doric Bossom, Farley Music Festival Board Member

“Julian was HOSPA’s Press Officer for over ten years. He left us to concentrate on researching and writing a book, commissioned by one of his clients. CommunicationsPoint played a major role in the successful rebranding of the British Association of Hospitality Accountants into HOSPA; and the BAHA Annual Conference and Exhibition into HOSPACE in 2011.

“Julian was a great support to me personally when I took the role of CEO at HOSPA and always brightened my day with his jolly outlook on the world! He took time to make sure all our PR was accurate and relevant. I would recommend him highly.”

Jane Pendlebury, Chief Executive, HOSPA (Hospitality Professionals Association for Finance, Revenue Management, Marketing and IT)

“I would like to thank you at CommunicationsPoint very much indeed for all your efforts to ensure that the 2018 Farley Music Festival was such a resounding success. We had record numbers overall during the week, with each concert being attended by audiences in excess of 100 people.”

 

Michael Regan, Chairman of the Farley Music Festival

 

“Julian has been HOSPA’s Press and PR officer since 2007 and has been a key member of the team in helping BAHA, and then re-branded HOSPA, annual conference and exhibition (HOSPACE) grow into one of the most popular and influential events on the UK hospitality industry calendar. HOSPACE – our main event every year has more than doubled its attendance since 2006 when Julian started working with us.

In 2011, CommunicationsPoint also played a pivotal role in the highly acclaimed rebranding from BAHA to HOSPA which included the new website, branding, and collateral plus associated press and launch coverage – and now with its three Communities for Hospitality Finance, Revenue Management and IT professionals we go from strength to strength. Julian understands our business and the issues and topics we deal with and is a key part of our marketing and PR plans.”

Carl Weldon FIH, Chief Executive, HOSPA

(Hospitality Professionals Association for Finance, Revenue Management and IT)

“Julian has provided PR services to my company for more than a decade and I have recommended his services on to a number of other clients. Julian fits well into any team, is always enthusiastic about the brief, has a creative approach and a great ability to get the right result. Julian has added considerable value to a range of projects, including the Hospitable Climates initiative and the Considerate Hoteliers Association.”

Rebecca Hawkins

Managing Director – Responsible Hospitality Partnership

“Dorset Opera Festival asked Julian to set up and run a press office on its behalf in 2013 and 2014 and establish a mailing list of opera contacts and critics. Julian undertook all the necessary research and ensured that our press releases reached a well targeted audience. He also participated in meetings refining our marketing strategy and we welcomed the wider marketing perspective that he brought. We were very pleased with the result and look forward to working with Julian on future occasions.”

Giles Harvey

Dorset Opera Festival

“Avenue9 appointed Julian Demetriadi and CommunicationsPoint in 2014, based on its reputation as a PR agency with vast experience within the Hospitality sector. This has been true to date and the agency’s ability to grasp our business and understand our needs has been superb. We have so far achieved some great publicity something I strongly believe would not have been achieved without Julian’s guidance and expertise. CommunicationsPoint is both thorough and creative in its approach to PR and I would have no hesitation in recommending its services.”

Philippa Witheat

Sales & Marketing Director, Avenue9

“CommunicationsPoint played a key role in the publicity surrounding the re-opening of Brighton’s oldest boutique hotel, Blanch House, in 2011 – they provided a highly professional, friendly and helpful service in providing content and promotional support for our new website and media relations for our reopening under new ownership, following a major refurbishment programme. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Julian Demetriadi and CommunicationsPoint to fellow hoteliers.”

Jeremy Ornellas

Co-proprietor, Blanch House, Brighton

“I used the services of Julian first when we owned and ran the Deans Place Hotel in Alfriston. I had used many PR companies in the past and had always been very disappointed at the results. I was amazed at the brilliant results Julian achieved for us in a very short time scale. He knew exactly the right avenues for our product and the results were exceptional.”

Hotelier Peter Bramich

(Former President of the Institute of Hospitality and former owner of Deans Place Hotel, Alfriston, Sussex)
