This blog however, is all about what we’ve been up to in the
month of August!
We kicked off the month with a Wedding in Hampshire where we
provided both the equipment for the DJ as well as the lighting in and around
the Reception room where the meals were served. Here's a picture!
On the same day our LED Dancefloor was hired in Wilmington
for a party. Before the LED Dancefloor
goes out it is set up in our unit – cleaned, tested and programmed for the next
use. To see a video of the testing in
progress have a look here. The video shows gaps between the panels, but
this was just for whilst the dancefloor was being tested – when it is actually
out on hire there are no gaps and the panels are screwed together to ensure
safety and make sure they don’t move during use.
On the 4th
August IA provided the Sound and Light for Petts Woodstock (www.pettswoodstock.com),
featuring 16 local bands on two stages.
There are pictures on our facebook page.
Here’s the link!
We were also pleased to be a part of Bromley Amphitheatre’s
productions in Bromley Churchill Gardens, where once again we provided all of
the Sound and Light for all of the following events. The first weekend (Friday 10th/Saturday
11th) featured “Rolling Stoned” which if you hadn’t guessed is a
Rolling Stones Tribute Act! (Footage will be added to our Youtube page in the near future. The day
after there was A Midsummer Nights Dream.
The weekend after was again in Bromley Churchill Gardens for
Bromley Amphitheatre where on the Saturday there was Fleetwood Bac performed a
tribute to Fleetwood Mac (click here for video of the lights) and the day after Proms in the Park performed a classical set which included
fireworks during the 1812 overture for the finale. (Here's a video!).
On Friday 24th August we were in Swanley Park for
the 1812 Night Fireworks and Concert, which even despite potentially drenching
weather had a fantastic turnout, the park was packed out.
Saturday 25th August IA installed some lighting
in a marquee for a wedding in conjunction with one of the DJ’s we use as part
of our disco services (www.madmalc.co.uk).
Then moving onto the Sunday!
We delivered and installed lights and sound for a party at Bickley Manor
Hotel and then went on to provide Litedeck Staging for a Burlesque show at Bad
Apple, Croydon. Run by the very talented
Alethea Rose (https://twitter.com/AletheaRose1)
who will be running another show on Sunday 28th October if you
missed out on this one! Here’s a link to
the facebook event for more information!
