Live Nation’s Cuffe & Taylor Hires New Entertainment Booker In England

– Ben Hatton
Cuffe and Taylor’s new director of theater touring

Indoor theater tours have became somewhat of a specialty of Cuffe & Taylor, and Hatton is going to focus on that offer in particular. Recent examples include the popular Remembering Fred, UK tour celebrating the life of Fred Astaire, Joan Collins’ Unscripted and the sell-out Sheridan Smith tour Sheridan in Concert.

Hatton joins Cuffe & Taylor from Essex-based Entertainers, where he spent the past 12 years sourcing and producing theatre shows across the UK.

Speaking about his new role, Hatton said: “The Cuffe and Taylor team creates and promotes stunning, incredibly successful theatre tours. I am looking forward to working with them and their team to further enhance this offer; this is going to be a very exciting job.”

Cuffe & Taylor director Peter Taylor added: “At Cuffe and Taylor we are always striving to create as much artistic content as possible and bring music and shows to as many people across the UK as we can. We love to work across all genres of music and theatre and we believe Ben will further enhance what we offer our customers. We’re delighted to have him on board.”

Cuffe & Taylor got acquired by Live Nation in the beginning of last year. The company’s flagship events include Greenwich Music Time, Lytham Festival and the Scarborough Open Air Theatre, which just broke its own attendance record for a third year in a row.
