"We have been delighted to work with so many festivals, concerts and parties this Summer and are hoping to build on this success in 2006," says technical director Mike Naish. "Not only have we been involved in short hire projects this year, but also long-running events such as the Edinburgh Festival and locally at the Salisbury Festival. Some of our staging even made its TV debut on the set of Channel 5 programme, The Farm, and we have thoroughly enjoyed working on such a variety of different projects."
One of the largest projects for the company this Summer has been its work with travelling Festival Hildegard, which visited three cathedrals including Norwich, Salisbury and St David's in Wales and the famous St John's concert venue in Smith's Square, London. Stagecraft supplied lighting equipment for the festivals including ETC Source Four Profiles and Pars, DMX Strobes, Par 36 8 Lite, Par 16, Avolites Dimming, Zero 88 Control Desk and rigging.
Other work this year has included: lighting, staging and sound for the Salisbury Festival, supply of the Arc Roof for the Lulworth Blues Festival and the Southampton Mela Festival for Art Asia, staging for events in Reading, Winchester, Southampton and Windsor, trussing and lighting for the Edinburgh Festival and lighting for the Brownsea Island production of Measure for Measure.
