#ChristmasLive Standing By

#ChristmasLive Our technical gremlins are standing by after travelling over in style

#DNBizAwards lighting genius Nick Jackson available for bookings

Another December, another tweet to get the Twitter feed going for #ChristmasLive !

Finally one on the board!

@MCRMetrolink any trams to Didsbury from Cornbrook any time soon? Lots terminating at Trafford Bar and not going any further. Second delayed journey this week!

@MCRMetrolink both contactless readers closest to the stairs at West Didsbury (both sides) don't seem to work. "Not authorised to travel" if you try and beep a contactless card. Same problem yesterday too

@proogs Indeed...pre-pandemic world seems very far away now!

People overbuying toilet rolls seems like a lifetime ago.

@proogs Someone actually used gobo shake!!

The best thing about this as a tech are the 'spare' microphones placed carefully two steps SR of their starting positions so they can twirl to it and continue singing seamlessly...

Missing work already (what???) Hope to be back flashing lights before long. Before the madness set in we looked pretty chuffed at our last @queenrocksymph gig in Feb @ Congress Theatre instagram.com/p/B_YLb9TJPcN/…

@proogs A few people have pointed this out to me today. Something fun to occupy myself with next week!

@pwaring @proogs I'll take a look.

@pwaring @proogs What aliases did you try in the first place?

@pwaring @proogs Committee@ should work... Or something is really broken!

@MCRMetrolink Managed to get on board (just!) at Piccadilly. Is there a reason for the delay?

@JamesPhillips95 Hi James. Sorry to hear this, please can you advise if you have been able to board a service now? Thanks.

@MCRMetrolink what's going on with services to Eccles this morning? No tram at 0820 from New Islington and the MediaCityUK service after it was so full nobody could board.

@DanBamba Oh yeah... That was a Twitter wall test 😆

@JamesPhillips95 Still there?

#ChristmasLIVE is this thing on

@y3kdaniel There's a few Krypton's doing some entrance stuff but the makeup in the main room is Elation 5R Beams, Satura Spots, Elumen8 CM150, Sunstrips and a load of LED Par and Conventionals to fill in the gaps. Seems to get the job done!

@JamesPhillips95 Looks like some Kryptons? What else is on the tech list?

First #ChristmasLIVE tweet of the season!

Spending most of December providing Lighting and Production to Christmas Live at @doncasterraces with svlhire for @ExplosiveProLtd. A tradition for 7 years now and a great bunch of people working really hard to get… instagram.com/p/B5yPSEEJ2gy/…
