Radio 1 Big Weekend Goes Wholehog
Flying Pig Systems Wholehog consoles were at the control for all performances during the Radio 1’s Big Weekend. The 2-day festival featured three stages of acts, broadcast live on radio and TV May 19-20 from Moor Park, Preston, UK.
LD Paul Normandale designed the entire production, specifying a Wholehog 3 with Expansion Wing for Main Stage 1 (with lighting director Glen Johnson), Hog iPC with Wing for Stage 2 (lighting director Matt Arthur) and Hog iPC for Stage 3 (lighting director Alex Johnson).
Lighting director Glen Johnson, who handled the main stage with Normandale, says the Wholehog products were: “Absolutely brilliant. The consoles ran nine hours a day doing live broadcasts and were 100 percent reliable. The Wholehog 3 Expansion Wing is rockin’! I love how you could see the cue list clearly, compared to the old Wholehog 2 Expansion Wing. In fact, we’re looking at buying two Expansion Wings now.”
Lite Alternative UK provided all the production. Acts included Kaiser Chiefs, Stereophonics, Razorlight, Scissor Sisters, Bloc Party, The Fray, Kasabian, The View and many more.
Lite Alternative is currently providing Wholehog products on tours with Bjork, Crowded House, Nine Inch Nails and Arcade Fire, all designed by LD Paul Normandale.
