Electric Umbrella make a royal visit

May 10, 2023

Elana and Steve were special guests at a Buckingham Palace garden party, to mark the Coronation.

As proud recipients of the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service in 2022, we were delighted to receive an invite to take part in celebrations to mark the Coronation of King Charles III.


Joined by our Operations Manager Steve, Electric Umbrella superstar and Production Assistant Elana travelled from Devon to attend the spectacular event.


A garden party like no other, the day focussed on celebrating public service, volunteers and communities from across the country.

Elana even got to meet royalty as she found the time to chat to Prince William about the celebrations last weekend.


We are very proud of Elana for being such an amazing ambassador for our community, and of course she made sure to show off her yellow umbrella to everyone around!

At Electric Umbrella we create amazing, live interactive music experiences with learning disabled people. And when our superstars take to the stage, they help change the way the world looks at them - and others.

Paul Gershlick receives Electric Umbrella Corporate Ambassador Award!

30 Oct, 2023
We were delighted to recently recognise Paul Gershlick, Partner at VWV Law Firm in Watford, with our Corporate Ambassador Award . Paul first introduced Electric Umbrella to VWV and their wider network after inviting us to perform online at their 2020 PING conference. Since then, a real friendship was struck and Paul, along with his team at VWV Watford, have gone above and beyond to support Electric Umbrella. Whether it’s having us return to perform at future conferences, supporting us with in-office charity events and lunches, or attending our shows, Paul and the VWV Watford team have bought into the Electric Umbrella way. In addition to VWV Watford making Electric Umbrella their office charity of the year for two years running, Paul personally volunteers on a weekly basis at our Big Yellow Choir, where he was presented with his award by our CEO Mel and choir member Ali, earlier this month.

Thank you Steve Owen!
