The Musicians Channel's set designer Shaun Burley wanted a versatile adaptable stage set that could be changed according to the segment being featured. LiteStructures' solution was an effective combination of AstraLite and LiteDeck, both of which are ideal for creating interest in a variety of configurations. Adrian Brooks, managing director of LiteStructures explained: "We used LiteDeck and AstraLite because they are both light enough to manoeuvre easily and flexible enough to set up in a variety of combinations. They are also quick and easy to put together - which is, after all, the point!"
Jonathan MacDonald, Musicians Channel CEO and Co-Founder, said of LiteStructures: "I wouldn't use anyone else. Having been in the music industry for over 12 years, LiteStructures is the most professional set and staging company I know. One of the reasons for this is their vision. They grasped our designer's concept and took no time in turning it into a reality - which was not as easy as it sounds."
Jools Holland and Brian May are in the potential line up of artists due to appear on the channel and a range of top class musicians will feature in the tutorial segments. Tips and Tricks' snippets will complement the programmes to give viewers a better understanding of becoming a musician. The Musicians Channel can be found on EPG number 475 and currently broadcasts from 2:30pm until 12:30am with plans to expand to 24 hours next year.
