One of the most successful comedy and entertainment venues at the Fringe, The Gilded Balloon was established in 1986 and now operates eight spaces at what is, in real life, Edinburgh University's student union building.
In addition to the SmartFade MLs, Northern Light project manager Calder Sibbald also supplied two ETC Congo jr lighting control desks and five SmartFade desks, as well as various ETC Source FourR luminaires.
Calder says: "I recommended the Gilded Balloon take ETC equipment for the festival because of the quality of the equipment, as well as the superb after-sales service provided by the company, especially by their associateregional manager for UK & Ireland, Jeremy Roberts."
ETC also took the opportunity, while so many technicians were together in one place at Assembly Universal Arts, to hold demos and training sessions onCongo and Congo jr.
Edinburgh was also the home of the Fettes Jazz Festival in August. For this, Northern Light supplied an ETC SmartFade ML, as well as plus 24 Source FourPARs and 12 Source Four PARnels.
