Musica I Espectacles also know as Musica I Espectalos. This is a Spanish Entertainment Agency who employs mainly british entertainers to go and work in Hotels in Menorca performing cabaret shows.
Artistes are made to sign a spainish contract guaranteeing them 6 months work.
The agency will then find some excuse to terminate the contract one to two months into it, then artiste is then expected to fly them selves home with no pay.
This agency has a bad reputation from the past when two years ago they were known as Martin Productions.
The agency get paid monthly from the hotels that they supply and just keep the cash without paying the artistes or under paying the artistes.
People working within the agency are named as:
Mr Silver (the owner)
Fransisco Crespi (Artist booker)
Pedro Suarez Oliver (Seller of acts to hotels)
Sonia Minaya Martinez (Artist liason)
The company pays for the artists to fly out to the Balearics and promises to pay for cargo of costumes and props etc... But this never appears.
They tell you that you will be paid 60 days after contract begins... But before 60 days are up they make sure that your contract is cancelled so they do not have to pay the artistes. Thus leaving the artistes stranded on the island with no money or way of getting home.
ALL ARTISTES BEWARE if offered work by this company or those named above who may well set up another named company.
I still have not been paid for the work i have done this agency... And probably wont be!
