Entec supplies lighting for Chris Norman Tour

Lighting designer Amy Barnett approached Entec to provide a lighting equipment package for the recent European tour by Chris Norman. It was the first time she'd worked with the west London based lighting rental specialists.

Barnett started work with the artist earlier in 2015 and the lighting design for the European tour was based around a front and back truss - plus a mid stage truss which facilitated a kabuki drop at the top of the show. At some venues, for practicality and speed and when there was a good overhead lighting rig, the in-house air system augmented with their own floor package.

The front truss was loaded with two Source Four zooms for key lighting, eight fresnels that provided some classical theatrical style front-wash looks, a Barco R10 projector - also from Entec - was also rigged in this, and projection ran onto a screen outrigged from the back truss.

Lighting fixtures on the back truss comprised four Martin MAC 700 Spots and six Robe LEDWash 600s. On the floor were another six MAC 700s and six Robe LEDWash 600s, used for lower level lighting and effects. Four MAC 700s upstage were varied in height off the deck on stands and flightcases, with four LEDWashes on the floor and another two of each fixture downstage both sides of stage.

The electronic kabuki reveal took place after a musical intro at the top of the set that segued into the band playing live, and as Chris Norman entered the stage, the cloth fell away to reveal him silhouetted by the upstage spots.

Entec also supplied a DF50 hazer. For lighting control Barnett chose a ChamSys MQ200. In addition to the show cues, she had a busk page set up on the desk to experiment with new looks and some ‘live’ evolution as the tour progressed. Entec supplied Mark Wood for crew.
