From the acts

Why they switched from Poptop & Encore.

"I was haemorrhaging £3k/year in commission. Six months on Fortis and it has paid for two new Pioneer decks."

Luca Vance · DJ

"Host pays the fee transparently and we look classier for it. No more awkward 'commission-adjusted' invoices."

Amelia Wren Trio · Jazz trio

"Same price to parents. £140 more per booking to me. It's a no-brainer."

Sunny the Showman · Kids'
