Bushell has used BB7s before on both Amy Winehouse and The Hoosiers, and is a big fan of the i-Pix brand, however Doves also gave him the chance to use i-Pix BB4 4-lites for the first time.
The six BB7s were attached to the top of custom VersaTube racks running along the back of the stage, just downstage of a white cyc. They were an important element of a heavily backlit show.
Bushell comments: "Their retro appearance fits perfectly with the band's style and visual requirements. And with the LED lightsource, this was exactly the right combination". The band take an active interest in the lighting, and Bushell used the BB7s for strong, dramatic, colourful back light washes.
All lighting kit for the tour was being supplied by PRG, and Bushell worked alongside crew-mates Daniel Bocking and Jake Sullivan.
