Trounce is also the house LD at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire venue, where the house desk is an Avo Diamond 4.
The first show that she designed and programmed for Nash was done on a Pearl Expert running TITAN after which they asked her to tour with them. So she had a show everyone was really happy with, but an expedient budget meant the decision was taken to utilize house rigs rather than tour a production.
The opportunity arose for Trounce to try out the Tiger Touch whilst on the European leg of the tour. Above all, the ability to pluck her original design straight from the Pearl Expert and plug it directly into the Tiger Touch proved a great solution. Portable enough to travel with her on the bus Trounce was able to fixture exchange her way all around Europe.
"It worked absolutely brilliantly for incorporating the house fixtures each night, translating and upgrading my positions, colours and palettes and allowing me to have my basic show every night," she says.
Trounce was also the main console operator for the high profile 2010 BBC Radio 2 Electric Proms at London's Roundhouse, for which she used an Avo Diamond 4 Vision. She used a D4 earlier in the year when designing for Australian band Cat Empire. Kate Nash is on tour again in December in Germany, for which she will again be taking a Pearl Expert TITAN.
