UK - Lighting designer Emma Westerberg has just finished off her year long worldwide tour with Damien Rice and her ETC Congo jr, saying she remains delighted with the control system. She bought the Congo jr a year ago, and,she says, it's behaved flawlessly ever since.

Speaking at London's Wembley Arena after she had finished focussing the lights, Westerberg explained: "I got the desk in January, and within the hour, I had everything programmed in and was up and running. The same was true when Damien was playing at festivals over the summer - because I had my own desk, we could get going so quickly."

In addition to nine 19º and eight 36º Source Four profile spotlights, the Arena rig included battens, floodlights, snow machines, foggers and some 40MAC moving lights.
