Full steam ahead!

Sorry for the lame title, but we're all having a heap of fun in Wellington, New Zealand this week for the first bump in of Starlight Express, which Mandylights is supplying lighting direction, crewing and equipment for as the show tours for the next few months.
The show has a spectacular lighting design by Howard Eaton and we're working with the associate designer, Stu Stacy here in New Zealand to get the show up and running. With over 100 moving lights and 120 scrollers, the show has more than enough toys to keep our four man crew busy.
We'll put some photos up soon....

More traveling

Howdy all from the tiny islands of Fiji - where I've been working on a couple of events for the last week. I can honestly say the Fijians we've been working and staying with have been some of the most dedicated, caring and fun people to work with anywhere in the world. Big thanks to Adam and Staging Connections this week as well who provided gear for us... those in the industry will appreciate how much easier a job becomes when everyone is on the same side and working together. It's been an absolute pleasure to be involved with the events and I really can't wait to get back on holiday or on business soon.
I'm now going to enjoy a whopping 48hrs back in Sydney before heading off to New Zealand for a week on Tuesday.
Hopefully I get a chance to catch up with some friends and colleagues in the next little while when all this calms down!
