Jim Colson, production manager at Kennedy Street, states, "Both Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons and Gladys Knight are absolute icons in the music industry. The fact that they are both still in such demand after so many years indicates the impact their music has made and how their already huge fan-bases continue to grow".
White Light not only provided the lighting equipment for both tours but also the rigging and an expert team who travelled across the UK to each venue. White Light's project manager, Josh Yard, who led on the project, states, "These are always important events for us as we are working with well-known artists with enormous followings. This offered us the opportunity to not only showcase some of the impressive lighting equipment we have readily available but how our skilled team can assist with both the rigging in the warehouse and the set up on the road".
Some of the equipment used included the Chroma-Q Colour Force 48 LED Batten, PAR 64s and Robert Juliat Victor Followspots. Josh adds, "Despite both shows being touring concerts, they both required very different feels. Fortunately we were able to draw on our huge stock range and ensure that we created the desired effect for each one."
"We used White Light as, simply put, they were able to offer us the entire package," says Colson. "Knowing that they provided the equipment, rigging preparation and were actually on hand to put everything in place at each venue filled us with great confidence and they not only managed to deliver the job on time but to the high standards we asked of them."
