I love this picture of Circus Starr at the end of its spring tour.
Started by Phillip Gandey - whose company Gandey World Class Productions is the UK's largest producer of international circus work, with shows including Gandey's Circus, Spirit of the Horse and the Chinese State Circus - Circus Starr has a unique business model. All its tickets are sold by telesales to businesses in the towns where the show appears. The tickets are then given away to ill and disadvantaged children and their families, giving them a top quality big top night out completely free of charge.
For a behind-the-scenes journey through the contemporary circus scene, with reviews of circuses of all types, both traditional and modern, plus interviews with big top owners and performers from clowns and sword-swallowers to trapeze artists and tiger trainers, read Circus Mania - The Ultimate Book for Anyone Who Dreamed of Running Away with the Circus!
