Gordon Reay and James Michael Moore run NiteLites, which aims to offer a flexible production package serving a variety of events including outdoor classical concerts, air shows, exterior architectural floodlighting, musical firework displays, and amateur dramatics to rock and pop concert support."Crown was recommended to us as the optimal amplification partner for the Vertec system," says James Michael Moore. The system has been out with a variety of acts, reflecting the current interest in '80s hits, including Curiosity Killed the Cat, as well as Herbie Hancock and Osibisa.
