An Avolites Pearl Expert has been specified and installed to control all the lighting in the main room at The Regal, Oxford's new 1000 capacity multi purpose venue.
Technical director Kieran Hayes has been the driving force behind the Regal project over the last three years, which has seen the Grade II listed former cinema, opened in 1927, restored to its original Art-Deco splendour, and enjoying a new lease of life as an entertainment hub.
Situated on Oxford’s vibrant Cowley Road, the venue is already hosting a variety of dance nights, tours and live bands.
When it came to lighting, Hayes consulted Dave Parry of Most Technical about specifying and procuring a cost effective rig that would give the requisite flexibility, quality and dynamics, and was recommended an Avolites Pearl Expert for the task.
Hayes also specifically wanted a console that was equally as good for operating dance nights and for live band lighting, plus one with which visiting LDs were likely to be familiar.
Currently the main room's lighting is arranged on a box truss around the dancefloor and on a goal post truss over the stage, offering a decent 10 metres of headroom.
The Pearl is controlling 12 High End Systems Cyberlights, six Martin Professional MAC 250s, 40 PARs, four Robe LED Blinders, eight ETC Source Fours and three Martin Atomic strobes.
Most of the generics are concentrated around the stage, while the moving lights are used for swooping across the dancefloor and for highlighting some of the room’s architectural features.
The Regal is hosting a diverse range of events including salsa, live bands, community dances and leading dance nights from Ministry of Sound, Cream and top international DJ's.
