James Taylor Tours with Butterfly
Britannia Row Productions’ Outline Butterfly system was used on James Taylor’s ‘One Man Band’ UK tour 2007 from April 6th to 30th. Twenty-four Hi-pack and four Subtech 218s were powered via Outline T series amplification. Two compact DVS 8 monitors were used for front fill.
Davide Lombardi, PA man and head of audio on the tour on behalf of Brit Row, as well as assistant to David Morgan, FOH engineer with James Taylor, said: “It was a great challenge – I had 24 Butterfly and two DVS 8 controlled by two Dolby Lake units and had to change the rig’s set-up ten times in 12 different venues, but the system responded fantastically. As it was an acoustic concert, it was fundamental for the vocals and guitar to be clear and up-front everywhere in the theatre – from the front stalls to the last row in the circle. Expert FOH engineer David Morgan and James Taylor himself were overjoyed with Brit Row’s new Butterfly.”
The same system has been used during the last two months on tours by Amy Winehouse (United Kingdom) and Cliff Richard (Europe).
From May 7th to 27th 2007, Brit Row’s date-sheet shows that Butterfly will be used in tours by Pet Shop Boys (Europe) and Groove Armada (UK), as well as for shows by Van Morrison, Patti Smith, Pink Martini and Biffy Clyro Editors at London’s Roundhouse.
