Midge Ure - Catalogue: The Hits Tour
ELEX had the pleasure to be invited on tour with Midge Ure and his wonderful team. We worked closely with Midge and his team to come up with the stage and lighting design to best portray his vision.
Design was made easy thanks to CAST Wysiwyg, linking up nicely with Avolites Titan for our pre-viz renders and pre-programming.
With a variety of different fixtures from ROBE lighting, Claypaky, GLP - German Light Products, Martin Professional and CHAUVET Professional; we believe we created a versatile rig capable of overcoming the unique challenges of this tour: scale. The design of our rig meant we could adapt as necessary to fit in to smaller or larger venues across the tour, a lot of which being theatres.
Of course, we also handled power and data distribution. Our custom designed networking racks provided all the data distribution we could need, comprising of Netgear AVLine switches, Obsidian Control sACN nodes and an Avolites TNP, all back to our Front of House rack - providing uninterrupted and reliable data communication.
