erroneousblack Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Busted, don't get me started! I'm old enough to know better to gripe about such things. But to do that to "Teenage Kicks". They should be hung, drawn, quartered, ground into the dirt, swept up, disolved in acid and poured into the pits of hell! Call me Mr Liberal...but!

Jon Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Didn't get to watch the Brits this year, I'll have to try and get a copy of the transmission from somewhere! In previous years I have been v. impressed with the finished product, but from what you guys have been saying doesnt sound too impressive this year :** laughs out loud **: Has anyone watched the Classic Brits before..I remember seeing a bit of it a year or 2 ago, they had this huge set made from what looked like steel, it was fantastic! Would love to work on the production team for the Birts...anyone got any contacts :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to work on the production team for the Birts...anyone got any contacts :PI have never watched the classic brits but seen lots of photos and the set and lighting does look amazing. Way better than the normal Brits. I would also love to work for the Brits production team (maybe I could raise the standard slightly :** laughs out loud **: :P ). I would love to stage manage live award ceremonies but on the credits it never says Stage Manager??? Is that because there isn't one or is that because STage Managers are being deemed unimportant (which they certainly are not) again!! We really deserve more credit than we get, The problem is in the words of Sir Peter Hall; A good stage Manager is not noticed!! I suppose though when you sign up for the job you know that your not going to get any credit or acknowledgement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Stage Manager <snip> We really deserve more credit than we get,If you say so. I think they are probably called something else; floor manager, platform manager, production coordinator etc etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam.henderson Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 If you say so. Yeah. Stage Managers do a lot of work and deserve some credit for a change. I think Stage Management is one of the hardest and most demanding jobs in the theatre. I think they are probably called something else; floor manager, platform manager, production coordinator etc etc etc Think your probably right!

I think Stage Management is one of the hardest and most demanding jobs in the theatre.I agree they deserve credit but dont think you can realy generalise and say any job is harder than another. I did intend the original coment to be tacken light heartedly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon T Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Dido was originally scheduled to perform at the Brits this year but she pulled out at the last minute saying that she wanted time to concentrate on her writting.?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Perhaps someone could tell us exactly what sort of incommers there are, but I would imagine it to be two or three 300A 3/phase supplies at least.there is not really that sort of income, it has its own substation (on the roof I think) so it can have whatever powere you need to get where ever you need it. it is not unusual, the same is true at wembly arena if memory serves correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy! Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Does Anyone know the 3 songs that Duran Duran Did? Or was it two songs I cant remmber? :** laughs out loud **: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
la grande homme Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 ROH has its own sub station too... and 5000 ways of dimming (including lots of 5k circuits) the only place in the world with more dimmers (according the Michael Scott) is the Mormon Tabernacle Church in Utah! They have 7500...that's some sermon! There is also one under leicester square tube station that powers lots of the West End theatres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Further to the idea of 'technical difficulties' , a Daily Mirror from earlier in the week mentioned something about Beyonce missing her flight to London that particular day. Prolly didn't help matters much . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 120A!Count yourself lucky, in my day we only had 63A and a Strand Junior 8 63A! You were so lucky, we had to spin the generators by hand and sit there with toggle switches to dim our lights Lights! We had to use candles, and the matches always blew out Matches! We had to light our shows with sparks from flint and steel Steel! We had to make do with lumps of coal, and our theatre was a small cardboard box int' middle ot' road.

Stu Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 "Right. I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, eat a lump of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad would kill us, and dance about on our graves singing "Hallelujah." Quite. ;) Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
