Clive, inspired by your posts I've been doing some reading about the Tattoo and the Fringe. I'd heard their names before but never realized the huge scope of them. This northeastern USA guy has now added them to my bucket list. Thanks.

2022-07-28 22:25:24 +0000 UTCAs a former stage manager and stage-hand, I love these BTS peeks. Thanks. You described it as a "hydraulic platform" Does it actually go up and down during the show?

2022-07-28 16:53:10 +0000 UTCClive - I would ask for foam or plastic tips to protect legs from sharp edges on the gantry hooks. I'm not being a health and safety dickhead here - something similar with exposed sharp edges happened at work and a guy needed stitches for a gashed leg injury. Pieces of foam and gaffer tape would make it safer.

2022-07-27 19:55:32 +0000 UTCThe wind can blow so strongly that we have to call the followspot operators in for safety, and sometimes the lights shut down due to fan stalling and struggling to keep their position against the wind.

2022-07-27 15:32:11 +0000 UTCYeah, they're not our favourite feature.

2022-07-27 15:30:45 +0000 UTCIf there's a team-mate coming the other way along the gantry, do you duel with inflatable 'Gladiator' batons ...for passing rights?

2022-07-27 10:45:58 +0000 UTCThanks Clive. A bit of engineering going on there to cantilever the stands.

2022-07-27 09:16:11 +0000 UTCWow! Wouldn't like to be walking along a gantry when the wind is blowing. Were you wearing your kilt?

2022-07-27 09:06:32 +0000 UTCoh that is a great insight !

2022-07-27 08:27:19 +0000 UTCNot a fan of the big hooks protruding into the catwalk. I would hit my leg on every one of them.
