A collaboration between Stade de France Productions and Festival Interceltique (I3C) the one-day festival built on its inaugural success last year and used Coemar lighting heavily in the production. This was designed by Roch Segovia and supplied by Paris-based contractors, NAT. Programming was by Fabrice Delmontel and Jerome Feuillade.
NAT supplied two each of their newly-acquired iWash Flex and iSpot Flex, for which they provided a world debut earlier in the month for Renault, at the Geneva Motor Show. These were used with 45 of the Coemar CF1200 HE and 22 CF1200 Wash lights, along with 40 Coemar NAT MM2500 Bercy.
This year the massive presentation conceived by festival director, Jean-Pierre Pichard, saw 70,000 people enjoying the music, relayed to them by two giant screens. The show featured leading Celtic acts including Breton harpist Alan Stivell, Sinead O’Connor, Galician piper Carlos Nunez and Denez Prigent.
The symphony orchestra of the Interceltique Festival, and the hundreds of musicians, dancers and pipe bands also benefited from the imaginative production. The event enabled the promoters to transform St. Patrick into the patron saint of the Breton ‘Fest Noz’ circuit.
