PA Hire Outdoor Rally (Heathrow Expansion)

PA System Hire (Boris Johnson used our microphone!) 27th April 2013

2500 persons attended this cross party anti-expansion of Heathrow airport rally at Barns Elm playing fields  next to the Wetland Nature reserve in South West London. The rally was largely organized by Zak Goldsmith ,the Tory MP for Richmond
We had to use a silent generator to power the sound system - Using our normal outdoor set up as follows: 8 x EV SX 300 speakers powered by Crown amps, Shure SM58 radio mic system and a Pioneer Desk .
Myself and son Barney took about an hour to set up . The speech deliverers were to be on on a small stand next to the Athletic track. We were situated by the stands side
Gyles Brandraft was hosting the event and what a charming funny fellow he is. Doing  a fantastic warm up to the London Mayor Boris Johnson's eagerly awaited slot. Worth waiting for? Yes he was good despite the fact that his arguments could be seen as a tad hypocritical!
Most West London boroughs were represented by their local MPs who had according to Gyles 'Just one minute' to deliver their speeches. The morning went quickly and one of my abiding memories will be of the 'Paparazzi' treatment of the prime minster in waiting. Boris Johnson

Lighting Uplighter Hire Grafiiti Tunnel Waterloo

Lasers & Uplighter Hire Waterloo London 4th March 2013

Lights and Smoke machine Hire in London specifically in the Graffiti Tunnel which is part of  a labyrinth of old railway tunnels known collectively as the 'Old Vic Tunnels' near Waterloo station
We were hired by Tro-Group  who were organising a 6K run through London as part of a promotion of a new trainer shoe manufactured by the Sporting Clothing giant Nike. This being one our bigger and more interesting events so far this year.
The organiser Michelle wanted lots of Pink lighting and loads of smoke  for the runners to race through with the accompanying sounds of two Beatbox singers. It had to be "Urban"
It was definitely that. Over the course of three nights we witnessed a vicious brawl between some drunk East Europeans , an anarchic group of urban street singers with their loud stereo and the normal selection of waifs and strays.
My son Barney helped with the install. Using ten battery operated up lighter par cans set to a pink colour,. 2 x bank of 4 scanners and two pink lasers. The 'coup de grace' was a hired Jem low fog machine known as a Glaciator (£5000.00 to buy new) which with the help of ducting threw out a huge dense cloud of fog which was needed as the considerable down draught coming through the tunnel made the fog dissipate rather quickly. Using a 6KVA generator to power the 'Glaciator. and a Honda 3KVA generator to power the lights
The event was partly promoted by using British Olympians inc. the delectable Hannah England doing photo-shoots amongst the light-show
The whole production was very challenging but enjoyable mainly down to the uniqueness and location of the event.
