The high-flying circus firm for pop and rock stars

The BBC's weekly The Boss series profiles different business leaders from around the world. This week we speak to Billy Alwen and Julian Bracey, founders of UK circus performance business Cirque Bijou.

At the same time, its staff go on tour with singers and bands such as Taylor Swift, Katy Perry and Muse, to bring their performances alive with fire performers, tight-rope walkers, and even giant robots. Meanwhile, Julian Bracey, who is from Bristol, studied design at university in the 1990s. He had won a scholarship to enrol on a prestigious course at the University of Montreal.

"I ended up street performing all around the world, as a fire performer, acrobat, unicyclist and juggler. To keep costs down they made do with a couple of computers, and based themselves in Julian's father's basement.
