Friendly Fires get chummy at the Coronet

Back Up Next

St Albans-based trio, Friendly Fires recently took to the stage at the Coronet theatre in an event, curated by the band, to bring together their friends and favourite contemporaries for one special night. With an Avolites Pearl Expert, Avolites Art2000 48 way and 16A dimmer, the lighting was lead by Mark Video and supplied by Insight/Color Sound.

Ending their busy year in 2009, front man Ed Macfarlane set the tone "This'll be our last gig for a long time," Culminating a year which had seen them win many awards, plus a Mercury nomination for their critically acclaimed debut album. The Friendly Fires went on to play a full live set. Mark bathed them in light using fixtures ranging from; Martin Mac500, Martin Mac600, Martin Atomic 3000, Robe 250at, Pixeltrack LED batten, Nova Flower, RML Contra-Twist, RML Floor Tumbler, RML Pillar and RML Twist.

With nothing too high in concept the bands aim was to put on a gig that they, comments Mark, ‘would want to go to’. The gig lived up to expectations and the band pulled an all-nighter for fans and music minded peers in the sold-out party of the year.
