boac Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Does anyone know who owns the lighting kit used on Later... with Jools Holland? I assumed it would all be supplied by someone like RML/Finelight/etc but someone was telling me recently that the show had bought its own rig. That didn't sound right to me 'cos its beeb... or is there an external production company involved? Does anyone know for sure? Specifically, I'm interested in who owns the moving ACLs being used over Robbie's head last night. Ta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bright spark Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Not sure on Finelight, but RML told me they own NO generics, so either Finelight (if they do generics) probably did it, or its his own. Only one performer I know of owns their own kit, and thats Status Quo who IIRC own their Marshall cabinets.....I could be wrong (probably am).

That's quite a lot of kit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boac Posted November 5, 2005 Author Share Posted November 5, 2005 Well, I don't think any of it would be his, as in Jools Holland. We're not talking about the performer on tour, but a tv show which happens to be presented by a guy who is also a musician. And we're not talking generics: Moving ACLs. Does anyone know for sure?

andystone Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 As far as I am aware (unless it has changed) the moving light rig is supplied by RML. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_s Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Off topic, as nothing to do with who owns the kit, but I don't like the lighting on Jools Holland's latest series. "Later" used to be a music programme with minimal lighting requirements and few, if any strobes, but with the demise of TOTP it seems to be heading down in that direction. I guess I'll be digging out those Old Grey Whistle Test DVDs, then...... (I should say that I'm not completely anti big lighting and fancy effects, it's just nice to have a rest from it occasionally. To my cynical eyes, it all starts to look the same) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmath Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 If Chris Rigby is still lighting it then it'll be his company Aurora providing the gear... they have both conventional and automated kit so they may have moving ACL's. RML stilll so the christamas specials and TOTP. The CS4's from Studio Due are available from Creative Staging in London Regards Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Evans Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Only one performer I know of owns their own kit, and thats Status Quo who IIRC own their Marshall cabinets.....I could be wrong (probably am).Every band I have ever worked with owned their own backline kit.

24seven Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I would have thought if it was lighting for the bbc that would have come from ELP but I could be wrong ?? as for back line hire I am sure I read that alot of that comes from john henry's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Pearce Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Most pro bands are endorsees. An endorsee does not own the gear, they are mearly given permission to use it. Most companies will never want it back, but legally it is the property of the company not the performer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mush Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Most pro bands are endorsees... Jim Marshall of Marshall amplifier fame was very clear that he never gave away or lent amplifiers for endorsement, if you wanted Marshall amplification you paid for it. Didnae do his sales or reputation any harm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
