What better way to celebrate the company's first birthday than to enjoy a spectacular meal amongst friends in a great restaurant? With greg heading off to light the Cats Asian tour tomorrow afternoon, we're enjoying a rare night with everyone in Sydney.

And at the town hall...

Mandy also returned to light the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra for I B Creative in a special performance enhanced by a spectacular lighting rig that enhanced the music and architecture of the room. Stay tuned for more pictures in the coming days.

At the Opera House

Tonight we have designed am exclusive party on the front steps of the Sydney Opera House for Blacksheep Productions. With their trademark sense of fun added to the gig, its quickly become a hugely successful night for both the lucky attendees as well as a good laugh for the crew!

Good times

After a hectic weekend of festivals and parties, we're starting to work on some really exciting projects for the upcoming weeks. We'll fill you in soon, but here's a great photo of me and the Blacksheep crew enjoying a day off at Movie World a few weeks ago! We look forward to much more fun with Blacksheep as we work with them around the country and the globe this year!

The alcoholic weekend!

Mandylights is gearing up for a weekend of festivals and partying, with Richard designing both the first national Jim Beam Bourbonfest event in addition to a highly-anticipated secret dance party for a major drink label this Saturday. The Bourbonfest kicks off at Rouse Hills' Mean Fiddler Pub this Saturday with bands, bourbon, a tour bus that has to be seen to be believed and an enormous BBQ. After Sydney, Dan takes the show on the road to Brisbane next week, and then we're looking forward to further dates in Wollongong, Newcastle, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth and Sydney later in the year. In other news, Dan has been busy lighting part of the filming for Baz Luhrman's new movie epic "Australia" out at Sydney's Fox Studios. Dan's GrandMA expertise have been appreciated on set as the film's board operator. Greg has just finished his Easter tour of duty around Hillsong and Christian City Church and is already drawing up CAD plans for the enormous Hillsong conference in July. It's a busy time but we're all working on projects that we enjoy, and that's the main thing! Till next time Richard

Easter Time

The Easter weekend is upon us and all three of the Mandylights directors have been flat out on Church productions across Sydney. Greg has lead the charge, designing mammoth Easter productions for Christian City Church congregations at Oxford Falls and Central City, and is currently at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre lighting an Easter production for Hillsong Church. Dan and Richard are busy programming, planning and rigging too. Mandylights is looking forward to a whole host of upcoming gigs - everything from corporate parties through to overseas conferences, a few huge dance parties and of course, Australian Fashion Week - which will make Richard's fourth year of involvement in the region's largest and most prestigious fashion event. Also coming up is the national Bourbonfest Event, where the Mandy team will once again look forward to working for Blacksheep Productions to help make the Bourbonfest look as bright and as bold as possible. Meanwhile, we're still enjoying welcoming colleagues and friends to our new office, with our visualisation studio being put to it its first use in a few short weeks for a major dance party event. Hope to see you at the office soon! Richard
