Stephen Hunter – 2010 X-Factor Sensation

Stephen Hunter 42 from Lesmahagow came to the limelight as an X-Factor sensation in 2010, making it all the way to the judges homes final. Stephen now entertains crowds at corporate events, weddings, and official openings throughout the UK.

Recent achievements have included headlining the Party stage at Edinburgh’s 2010 Hogmanay (voted best stage of the night) in front of a 10,000 strong crowd, and securing a part in Jim Dickinson’s film “Rough and Ready”. The film set to hit our screens later this year.

Top Tips when booking entertainment:

RESEARCH - Do you research on the range of entertainers available, and obtain quotations from a number of different acts to ensure you are getting the best price.

EXPERIENCE – Once you’ve complied a short list of entertainers, find a local event were they are entertaining, and experience their performance for yourself. You Tube videos, showreels, and samples can sometimes be very deceiving!

BOOK – Once you’re happy with your entertainers, ensure you book then well in advance to ensure you are not disappointed.

At Passion 4 Events we can provide a complete entertainment package for your next event or wedding. We only use the very best entertainers who we know will deliver to same high standards time after time, and at a competitive price. From guest speakers and singers, to large bands, celebrities, comedians, magicians, silhouette artists, caricaturists, stilt walkers, fire dancers and much more. Please contact us today to arrange your complimentary consultation.

About the Wooden Spoon Charity:

In the UK, one child in every hundred suffers from a lifelong disability that will profoundly affect his or her ability to lead a full and happy life. More than 3.5 million young people grow up in low income households or live in an environment where they are subjected to poverty of aspiration.

At Wooden Spoon, we believe all that all children and young people deserve the chance to live happy fulfilled lives regardless of the challenges they may face. Spoon harnesses the spirit and values of rugby to give disadvantaged children and young people in the UK and Ireland a chance to achieve their full potential in life.

We partner with the UK rugby community, receiving invaluable support for our activities and the opportunity to raise awareness of the work we do. In doing so, we involve some of the UK’s top sporting role models in a making difference in the lives of young people in need.
