Setting the lighting within the marquee (see video below) was a challenge we happily took head on. Besides, that was the easy part – the outdoor lighting display would require snow boots and shovels!

Music and Rugby – we don’t know if they directly mix but when it comes to charitable causes we help when we can! On Wednesday 25th November there will be a  few testimonial rugby matches to raise money for the local Air Ambulance. And then after that ORA favourites Frottage will be playing in the clubhouse (9pm approx).

ORA Productions provided the complete package for this years Silchester Music Festival. Fromthe lighting, sound to staging and live acts from the local area.

The music involved some 12 acts, varying from a single guitar and vocal set up. This included African drums with a didjeridoo. Other instruments amongst the various acts included a Kora, Glock, Cello, Flute, Zinger and a Cajon! Indeed, many of the instruments we had not come across before so made for an interesting challenge for us ‘soundies’.

Along with the sound PA, ORA Productions supplied the main marquee and staging, as well as the power distribution for the site. And event Pip sent us these kind words:

“I just wanted to say thank you so much for everything – you’ve been amazing! I couldn’t have got through this and made it the success it was without you – not talking bout the kit (which obviously was fantastic!) but the fact you were on the end of the line all the time for me – giving me advice and taking on a complete novice……”
