UK - HSL supplied lighting equipment and crew to the most recent leg of UK rockers Thunder's Bang tour, LD'd by Ian Bintliff. It's the second Thunder production tour that HSL has supplied, and was managed for the Blackburn-based rental house by Howard Dean.

Bintliff states, "It's always a pleasure to work with HSL - their kit, crew and service is second to none, and they also came up with a very good deal."

The trussing structure comprised of four 5m pre-rigged 'fingers', each fully loaded with 24 PARs, and each length also forming an integral architectural element of the design. The fingers fanned out from a central point at the back, and in between them were three triangular pods. Each pod was rigged with four Robe ColorSpot 575E AT moving lights, four JTE PixelLine LED battens and a string of ACLs.

The impact of the pods was maximised by being moved in and out during the show, a ploy that worked equally as well for big rock-out numbers as it did for ballads, where they closed up the stage space and increased the intimacy.
