Thankfully the snow has disappeared! We made our way up to Birmingham Metropole straight from the Reading Town Hall event. Thankfully we were working for another event and production company so all of the sound /lighting and AV was installed. We used all of our own control gear and provided the mad and fab Fergus on Percussion.
He really has the biggest percussion rig!
2 x congas,
1 x pair of bongos,
1 x chime tree,
1 x pair of Timbales,
2 x cymbals,
1 x doumbek,
A lot of toys; shekere, tambourines etc etc.
It's great working with a percussionist as it looks and sounds great. He played pretty much all of our set from 10.30pm - 01.30am. I think that his hands were red raw by the end of the set!
Check out the link to see Fergus in action from previous events.

New Year Party
So like most people we soldiered on and made our way through the snow and Ice and travelled mob handed to Reading, Berkshire for a New Year Party.
Penguins Events were staging an event for 400 guests and luckily we had a day before get-in which helped with staggering all of the trucks to and from site in the adverse weather conditions.
Broom in hand and pathway into the venue cleared, three trucks magically unloaded themselves hassle free up into Reading Town Hall courtesy of Gallowglass crew.
The New Year Party was to be an informal affair with the emphasise on good food, live music and good wine in great surroundings.
We worked in four spaces within the Town Hall, heavily concentrating on the main stage in the The Great Hall .
Entertainment on the main stage included The 10 –piece Empire State Band, The 6-piece Bogus Brothers Band. I Production Managed the event as well as arranging the on-stage Video DJ on a 4m x 3m LED Wall and x6 Plasma Screens around the venue. We then had a VJ overseeing all of the visuals from the balcony mixing live cameras and visuals and corporate branding, during the bands sets.
The party ran from 6.30pm – 12 Midnight when guests had to venture outside into the big freeze. A great gig!

Quote from Guy Hearn (photographer) about www.visualdj.co.uk
The marquee guys had nailed it down sufficiently so there were no disasters, and the DJs (Penguins) lighting was mindblowing – for the sake of the photographs, I think it should be a legal requirement for DJs to have as much kit as these dudes turned up with!
