I am very sad indeed to report the passing of our much loved and admired client David Henry. I first met David in 1990 when he brilliantly played the title role in UNCLE VANYA for Co-Producers (of which I was then co-Artistic Director) and I was delighted when many years later we worked together on a rehearsed reading and he approached me for representation.

It would take too long here to list David’s acting achievements but suffice it to say they encompassed West End musicals including CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG (in which he created the role of Baron Bombast) and MARY POPPINS and also CAROUSEL (amongst many productions at the NT including THE MADNESS OF GEORGE 111), theatre at Chichester, West Yorkshire Playhouse, RSC and extensively across the UK, award-winning audio work, many major feature films from THE KILLING FIELDS to ALI G IN DA HOUSE and tv from POIROT to AB FAB to name but a few. David used to say he was both Australian and South African as he grew up in both countries and he was often cast as characters from those places as a result - he was a gifted vocal artist.

Our sincere condolences to David's wife and family in Germany. David in later life was supported by the staff and friends of Denville Hall. Dear David - we’ll miss your wonderful optimism, warm personality, professionalism and fine acting and singing - you made a great contribution to our profession.

Our dear friend, admired colleague and valued client John Hudson has passed away peacefully after a short illness at the age of 67. John was an outstanding talent who made a mark early in his career in such productions as WOMAN IN MIND in the West End and A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS on tv before changing direction for a number of years, developing his academic gifts and working in education. And throughout, John continued to compose and play songs and indeed co-wrote and developed several musicals.

John made a remarkable and seemingly effortless return to screen and stage acting - almost as if he had never been away. Most recently he garnered great reviews for his contained yet very funny ‘Horton’ in WHILE THE SUN SHINES Orange Tree Theatre - a production so successful that it was revived just a few months ago. Our sincere condolences to John’s partner, children, wider family and friends - his humour, intelligence and kindness will be very much missed.

New Old Friends please take note! Looks like Wise Children already have - thanks !

”CRIMES ON CENTRE COURT is a delight from start to finish! Fast and smart as a Cary Grant punchline, this talented team are genuinely funny, filled with old school pleasures and fresh foolishness. This is the perfect mix of silly and skilled. It is simply and impressively A GREAT NIGHT OUT!” EMMA RICE

Ten years ago today, I stood in a small turret office in the North Block at Ealing Studios and turned in small circles wondering what to do first... Make tea? Ring someone? Run for the hills? I had just opened Jo Hole Associates and it was, in truth, a solitary moment....

I looked out of the window and saw a large flock of screeching green parrots landing on the tree outside. And I thought - well - expect the unexpected and get on with it! At 3pm that afternoon our first audition came through.

A decade on so much has changed and developed - I have suffered personal loss, business challenges (especially during Covid) and moments of both high drama and farce that match anything I have experienced on stage! But here we are, based at heart of theatre land, having worked at the NT, RSC in the West End, No 1 touring, regionally and sometimes in cutting edge and experimental work in theatre and in everything from Game of Thrones and The Crown to Eastenders amongst so many on screen.

Sophie Beswick Doherty Nicola Blackman Lavinia Warner and of course Conal Dillon - I simply couldn’t have got here without you - thank you so much for everything. To Thomas Rozycki and (my long-suffering and ever-supportive children) to my family and friends and to all the founding clients who took a huge punt to give me a chance to represent them - thank you from the bottom of my boots.

And most of all, thank you ALL our wonderful clients past and present for your fantastic work over the past decade! And of course the casting directors, directors and producers who work with us daily to create opportunities.

Looking forward to the next 10 with exciting news coming soon...

Aye thank you

Jo Hole ###x

Hmmm...a trio of singing parrots - I wonder if they’ve got an agent...
