It was a pleasure reconnecting with The Script and their touring crew, providing a comprehensive audio solution for the UK, Ireland, and European legs of their ‘Satellites World Tour’. For the arena dates in November and December, the Adlib team deployed a CODA Audio International Loudspeaker System, a DiGiCo Quantum 338 Mixing Console for Andrew Egerton at Monitors, and a Yamaha Professional Audio Rivage PM7 Mixing Console for FOH Engineer James Campbell. We extend our thanks to Colin Rogers, Ian Quinn, and the band for their continued trust in our services, as well as to the Adlib team for delivering an exceptional tour amidst a demanding schedule—good luck for the remainder of the world tour.

Congratulations to Ema Gazdík and Ross Gilmour on their recognition at the Production Futures Breakthrough Talent Awards 2024 at the Production Park in West Yorkshire last week. Ema, winning Audio Newcomer of the Year, and Ross, receiving the Outstanding Achievement Award, have both demonstrated their incredible dedication to their work on projects, tours, festivals, and events they have been part of. Ema, an Audio Technician who joined Adlib from Future Yard in May 2022, has swiftly integrated herself into our Audio Department. Some notable gigs this year include mixing monitors for the Rock Orchestra in the UK, EU, and US, working as a Monitor/Stage Technician, and acting as Monitor Engineer Laurie Binns’s deputy on Jason Derulo's European summer festival run and subsequent shows in Europe, Africa, and Asia. Last year, she mixed monitors for Mae Muller, the UK representative for Eurovision. Ross, a Lighting Technician, joined our Lighting team full-time in June 2023 and quickly established himself as a dependable member of Adlib’s touring Lighting crew. Over the past year, he has been on tours with Alfie Boe as Lighting Designer and Operator. Additionally, as a Lighting Technician, he worked on the SMA tour, Rick Astley, Pierce the Veil, The The, Il Divo, Courteeners, Gerry Cinnamon, TRNSMT, as well as Creamfields. He also oversaw the lighting for Radar Festival's 2nd stage. Phil Stoker, Adlib’s Director, commented: “It’s absolutely fantastic that both Ema and Ross have been recognised by their peers for their exceptional work. Since joining Adlib, they have quickly become integral parts of our touring roster, delivering high-quality work wherever they have been assigned. Lastly, we are really proud that many young aspiring industry professionals choose Adlib to hone their craft and take their first steps in the industry.”

S Club's UK & Ireland arena tour delivered a stunning visual spectacle through meticulous design and execution. Video Technician Mark Taylor, who discovered his passion for video production during his university placement year, led the video technical aspects of the show through his role at Adlib. The production featured ROE Visual Black Quartz 4.6 LED panels, chosen for their lightweight design and versatile configuration options. Three flown screens merged into one expansive display: a central wall of 120 panels flanked by two 90-panel side walls. Additional LED elements enhanced the stage design, including a dynamic tracking doorway for the artists. With 345 panels total, the success of this ambitious setup relied on seamless teamwork. As the sole supplier, Adlib's crew worked efficiently to deliver a polished performance night after night. Read more about the tour at https://lnkd.in/e3wRq8Ya
