Following

the launch of their latest album ‘Everyday Life’, Coldplay recently staged an

intimate, one-off concert at the Natural History Museum. Technical production

specialist White Light (WL) was appointed to provide all lighting solutions and

power distribution, as well as manage the staging and crowd management

barriers.

WL’s Account Manager, Steven

Burnham says: “There was a limited lead time on this project from the receipt

of brief. With our established position on the Museum’s approved suppliers list

and intricate knowledge of the venue, we were considered the expert choice for

a special event of this nature. We were excited

to work with promoters SJM Concerts for the first time.”

WL’s

Project Manager, Martin Strods worked closely alongside Coldplay’s Lighting

Director, Graham Feast and Lighting Designer, Sooner Routhier. A vast array of

LED moving fixtures from WL’s inventory was utilised to achieve their aesthetic

vision through the lighting elements. He comments: “We wanted to do justice to

the iconic surroundings of the Hintze Hall and heighten the intimacy of the

experience for the 850 fans in the crowd. Onsite, I led a crew of 20 who worked

seamlessly to achieve full set-up of the space within two hours.”

Andy Redhead, Head of Production

at SJM Concerts adds: “With the limited lead time in which to design and

execute this event, it was essential we work with an experienced supplier who

knew the Natural History Museum like the back of their hand. It was brilliant

working with the WL team, who provided a fantastic service and helped deliver a

very special show!”
