New Stage Lighting for the Galtres Centre Sponsored by Rockin’ All Over The Wold ...

Many of you will no doubt be aware of the fantastic facilities offered by The Galtres Centre in Easingwold, especially the GEC theatre.

Rockin’ All Over The Wold co-organizer, Richard Tanfield, has been putting his technical talents to use as a volunteer at the GEC for a few years now and has updated the stage lighting system in the theatre.

Part of this involved testing out new lighting control systems as the existing lighting desk in the theatre was starting to become a museum piece.

Richard eventually chose a virtual lighting desk from Chamsys which runs on a computer and provides all of the functions of a real desk, without the hefty price tag.

The software also has a 3D virtual theatre programmed into it, so programming a light show can be done almost anywhere as the results can be seen immediately in the virtual GEC theatre on the computer screen.

Richard has been keen to put on more live music at the GEC and has spent many hours up a ladder rigging and updating the lighting rig above the stage and auditorium to facilitate this.

He has also created joint musical ventures between the Galtres Centre and RAOTW which raises funds for the main RAOTW event and also for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance Charity.
