grandMA accompanies Elton John's UK Tour

UK - Elton John kicked off his Red Piano tour in the UK at Birmingham's National Indoor Arena, with lighting designer Kevin Bye operating the show using a grandMA console. Tim Routledge of grandPA - a new programming, training and control supply house dedicated to the MA Lighting platform - was brought in to assist Bye in programming the desk during the very short rehearsal period at Lite Structures' facility in Wakefield.

The tour is carrying two grandMA full-size consoles - one live and one for backup - and four MA NSPs, with the whole control system run on PRG's new fibre optic looms.

PRG's control systems engineer Gordon Torrington is overseeing all the FOH elements of the tour. All lighting kit is being supplied to the tour by PRG,
