Clay Paky Mythos utilized at ‘Sunday for Sammy’ concert

Clay Paky’s Mythos fixtures have beamed a variety of effects for the ‘Sunday for Sammy’ concert in Newcastle, England, which was held in memory of the late actor Sammy Johnson and featured stars from the worlds of TV, theatre and music. Lighting and set designer Eugene O’Connor specified 30 Mythos fixtures for the show, which was performed to a live audience as well as being filmed for DVD.

“As set designer I decided to rig three circular screens at the back of the staging: a main six metre screen in the centre and two three-metre circles either side, plus two six-metre half circle trusses at the side of stage for cross light for the cameras,” explains O’Connor. “We rigged 12 Mythos in the ceiling truss, eight on the centre screen, four on the outer half circle truss and six on the floor.”

The fixtures were supplied by Shaun Moore at Newcastle-based Nitelites. The event marked the third time O’Connor has served as lighting designer for ‘Sunday for Sammy’. He was originally brought in to design it by Geoff Wonfor who was directing the DVD shoot.
