                        Trading Update: Finishing Touch                        

First Artist Corporation PLC (AIM: FAN), the acquisitive sports and
entertainment group, today confirmed that Christmas bookings for its event
management business - Finishing Touch - are ahead of expectations.

Jon Smith, Chief Executive for First Artist Corporation PLC, commented:

"The optimism in the City off the back of the current wave of major M&A
activity is already appearing to have a direct impact on our business. For the
last two years the Christmas season has been dominated by headlines of firms
cutting back. All the early indications this year are the opposite."

Already Finishing Touch has received instructions on twelve events for December
06 with enquiries received on a further forty-eight.

The Company also confirms that Finishing Touch is trading in line with
expectations for its summer `06 events season and that its wealth management
division, ABG FM, is ahead of budget for the current year following "A Day".
With regards to its player representation business, the Company is looking
forward to a positive second half of year post World Cup.
