The short version
Artist & Talent Management
- Regional and international talent network
- Licensed for artistic talent contracting
- Riders and permits handled
- Show-called by an experienced stage manager
Booking talent is the easy part. Making sure the act suits the audience, arrives with the right technical rider, clears the venue's requirements and hits the stage on cue is the part that needs an events team. BARQ is licensed for artistic talent contracting and live show production, and handles both.

Everything in one scope.

06
Hosts & emcees
Bilingual hosts and presenters briefed on your script and terminology.
Do you only book acts you represent?
No. We source against the brief from our wider regional network and present options with costs, showreels and availability.
Can you provide bilingual hosts?
Yes — Arabic and English emcees are among our most requested bookings.
Who manages the artist on the day?
We do. An artist liaison handles arrival, green room, sound check and stage call so your team never has to.
Have a date in mind?
Tell us the idea. We’ll craft the memory.
