None 40 years experience of the ‘hard nosed’ entertainment business. Alan has enjoyed over 40 years in the entertainment business. His career started in the early 60s managing a number of groups during British pop’s boom period. In the mid 60s he joined Astra International, an artiste management agency, later becoming a Director. Astra represented a range of top artistes including Jasper Carrott and Robert Plant. They also had a strong concert promotion division organising concerts for acts such as David Bowie, Elton John, The Who, Black Sabbath and David Essex.

Hermitage promoted concerts for many national and international artists including Van Morrison, The Everly Brothers, Hall & Oates, Bob Geldof, Michael McDonald, Elkie Brooks, Joe Longthorne, and Daniel O’Donnell. During this period Alan promoted Jim Davidson in concert and in 1993 was responsible for his hugely successful 26 venue First Farewell Tour. Following this success Alan began to work more closely with Jim Davidson and when Jim was approached to take over The Wellington Theatre, Great Yarmouth in the summer of 1994 Alan joined him on the project. They began a major refurbishment programme and the theatre opened with a Gala Performance in April 1995. In 1996 Jim formed Effective Productions with Alan and Rick Price in order to combine various aspects of theatre production, including lighting and sound, under one roof. Whilst with Effective Productions, Alan was responsible for the promotion and production of seven of Jim Davidson’s UK concert tours, four Summer Seasons at Great Yarmouth and twelve major pantomimes at venues across the UK Within Effective, Alan was also involved in West End productions of The Lady Boys of Bangkok, Jolson, Great Balls of Fire and the touring musicals Summer Holiday and Oh What a Night. In 1999 Alan formed his own company, Alan Clayton Concerts Ltd.
