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!
