Last year I got myself a new job at AC Lighting. Since I joined I have discovered the variety of stage lighting that is available for delivery from the huge warehouse in High Wycombe and Leeds.
I created the new online shop for AC Lighting that sells over 9,000 items, many of them are in the stage lighting sector, like gobos, filter gels, par cans, and a huge range of lamps. There are also things like colour changers (containing gel strings that go in front of stage lights) and control desks. The new range of Jands Vista lighting controllers are mind blowing, they allow the stage lighting designer to create the look in a visual way, its revolutionary.
Stage lighting isn’t all that AC Lighting sells, there is a large range of architectural lighting, and club lighting. There is a separate division for Audio and Special Projects, so whatever your needs you can count on AC Lighting to provide a solution to fit your bill.

Sorry for the delay in getting these up, you can see them on Facebook, and you don’t need to be a member.
Happy New Year everyone, and thank you to everyone who made it down on the 21st for our Christmas Special. There lots of old faces and new, and everyone was having an excellent time.
Our DJs for the night performed wonderfully as always, Rob and Barclay did us proud. Seb Marx performed an awesome live set that kept the crowd from the moment he started. If you get a chance to see Seb play make sure you do, he is one to look out for!
I took some photos so will find somewhere for them to live. I have got to say I had lots of fun, and might do this again…thats if the sound problems get sorted. Luckily I had Julz (Fushion) provide a sound system that was perfectly engineered to not upset the neighbors.

You may have heard by now that I am putting on Magic again at the Roundabout on the 21st December, if you hadn’t, you do now. Its really just an excuse to party with some friends with some fine music.
As its the Roundabout Pub on Bridge Street, High Wycombe, its going to be free. Its the home of Magic, its where we started way back on 1999. I will be bringing us bang up to date with some fine tunes from some fine DJs.
To start the evening at 8pm we have Evil Rob playing Breaks. 9pm sees the return of Magic Resident Dark Angel. You should all remember him, as he has played at just about every Magic that there has ever been. He also plays all over the place, The Awakening in Reading is just one of his residencies. He will be playing Psy-Trance until 10.30pm.
UPDATE
From 10.30pm we will have a very special guest from KSS Records. Seb Marx has been playing for KSS for a long time is well known in the London techno scene. His playing a live techno set, which we are really looking forward to.
There will be some Christmas treats through out the evening with some surprises too.
Sound will be provided by Fushion System, and if you weren’t expecting it I will be providing the lights. I am putting a fairly large rig for the room, just to show them what you can do if you really want to.
It will be lovely to see old face and new, make sure you say hello!
