The proposed performance time is an important part of a Shalamar booking.
An organiser may request an early-evening appearance, headline performance, late-night show or another programme slot, but the timing needs to work with the artist’s travel, preparation and production schedule.
Provide both the preferred performance time and the overall event schedule when submitting the request.
For Shalamar scheduling inquiries, email info@bnmusic-artists.com.
A multi-set performance can be requested, but it should not be assumed to be part of the standard Shalamar engagement.
Two shorter sets, separate appearances or a return performance later in the evening may have different production, schedule and commercial implications from one continuous show.
If more than one appearance is required, specify the number of sets and preferred duration of each one.
Send the proposed format to info@bnmusic-artists.com.
Yes, an organiser can request Shalamar as a surprise performer, subject to availability and approval.
Surprise appearances require additional coordination because guest communication, backstage access, production schedules and artist arrival may need to remain confidential.
The organiser should tell BnMusic at the beginning of the inquiry if the artist’s participation must remain secret.
For a confidential Shalamar request, contact info@bnmusic-artists.com.
Confidentiality can be requested for private, corporate and high-profile events.
If the organiser requires the proposed Shalamar appearance, venue, client identity or event details to remain confidential, this should be stated at the beginning of the booking process.

Provide sponsor and event information to BnMusic at info@bnmusic-artists.com
Promotional use of Shalamar‘s name, image, photograph or logo should follow the conditions approved for the booking.
A confirmed performance does not automatically permit unrestricted advertising, merchandising or commercial use of the artist’s image.

For promotional questions connected with a Shalamar booking, contact info@bnmusic-artists.com.
Filming, livestreaming or professionally recording a Shalamar performance should be requested separately.
A live booking does not automatically include broadcast, streaming, television, commercial filming or unrestricted recording rights.

Include these requirements in the initial request to info@bnmusic-artists.com.
Audience photography and mobile-phone recording policies can vary by artist and event.
A private booking should not automatically be interpreted as permission for unrestricted professional or commercial recording.

For current Shalamar event conditions, contact BnMusic at info@bnmusic-artists.com.
A press interview, media appearance or promotional interview can be requested, but it is separate from the performance itself.

Send media requests together with the booking details to info@bnmusic-artists.com.
Attendance at a dinner, cocktail reception, VIP area or client gathering should be requested separately from the performance.

Contact BnMusic at info@bnmusic-artists.com.
Soundcheck requirements depend on the confirmed Shalamar performance format and current production needs.
Some performances require a full soundcheck, while others may use a line check or another production procedure.
The event schedule should therefore reserve enough preparation time until the actual requirements have been confirmed.
For production planning for Shalamar, contact info@bnmusic-artists.com.
Venue access time depends on production setup, soundcheck, backstage preparation, security and the confirmed show format.
The organiser should not schedule artist arrival based only on the visible performance time.
Load-in and technical preparation may begin considerably earlier than the show itself.
For the current Shalamar event schedule and production requirements, email info@bnmusic-artists.com.
Yes, Shalamar can be proposed for a multi-artist event, subject to approval and technical feasibility.
Events with several performers require detailed planning of performance order, soundchecks, stage changes, shared equipment and artist arrival times.
Do not assume that every artist can use exactly the same technical setup.
Send the complete event programme and proposed artist line-up to info@bnmusic-artists.com.
A late-night Shalamar performance can be requested, but the exact show time must be included in the proposal.
Late performances can affect travel schedules, venue restrictions, crew working hours and other event logistics.

For a late-night Shalamar inquiry, contact info@bnmusic-artists.com.

Provide photographs, venue specifications and access information when possible.
For an unusual-venue Shalamar request, email info@bnmusic-artists.com.
A change of date should be communicated immediately.
Availability and commercial terms agreed for one date do not automatically transfer to another date, and the artist may already have other commitments.
If the booking has reached the contract stage, any rescheduling conditions will also depend on the agreement.
Contact BnMusic at info@bnmusic-artists.com as soon as the proposed Shalamar event date changes.
A preliminary Shalamar inquiry can be made while a venue is still being selected, but accurate venue information is normally needed before production and logistics can be finalised.
At minimum, provide the city, country, expected audience size and type of venue being considered.
Once the venue is confirmed, its technical and access details can be added to the request.
For an early-stage Shalamar inquiry, contact info@bnmusic-artists.com.
A short performance window can be proposed, but it does not necessarily correspond to a format offered by Shalamar.
The organiser should clearly state whether the request is for a short appearance, selected songs, a compact show or another specific format.
The available option must be confirmed by the artist’s representatives.
Send the required stage time to info@bnmusic-artists.com when requesting Shalamar.
Yes. An organiser can propose Shalamar as the headline act or main entertainment moment of the evening.
If the performance is intended to be the event’s principal attraction, provide the expected show time, audience size, venue setup and what happens immediately before and after the performance.
This information helps with stage timing, production planning and overall event coordination.

About Shalamar
Biography / Discography
Shalamar is an American R&B and soul vocal group created by Dick Griffey and Don Cornelius in 1977 in Los Angeles. The classic and most commercially successful lineup consisted of lead vocalist Howard Hewett, vocalist and dancer Jody Watley, and vocalist and guitarist Jeffrey Daniel. Originally formed as a disco-driven group featuring session singers, Shalamar quickly evolved into an influential dance group after Griffey and Cornelius replaced the original lineup with popular Soul Train dancers Watley and Daniel.
The group achieved major chart success from 1979 onwards, scoring multiple platinum and gold albums in the United States and United Kingdom. Notable studio albums include Big Fun (1979), Three for Love (1980), Friends (1982), and The Look (1983). The classic trio achieved significant international success with singles including “The Second Time Around” (1979), “Take That to the Bank” (1978), “I Owe You One” (1980), and “Friends” (1982). Jeffrey Daniel’s innovative body-popping and choreography, later co-developed with Michael Jackson, helped establish the group as style trendsetters in the 1980s. The classic lineup disbanded in 1983 following internal conflicts, though subsequent iterations of the group continued to record and perform through the 1990s.
Shalamar reunited in 1996 for a performance on Babyface’s cover of “This Is for the Lover in You,” marking their first live performance together since breaking up. Howard Hewett and Jeffrey Daniel reformed the group in 1999, and since 2001 have performed regularly with Carolyn Griffey as a touring unit. The group has remained active in concert performances across the UK, Europe, North America, and Africa, earning a Music Walk of Fame stone in Camden in September 2023 in recognition of their lasting cultural impact on dance music and popular entertainment.
