Mallory Knox on tour with Robe lights

For Cambridge based alt-rockers Mallory Knox’ recent tour lighting and set designer Jordon Cooper  chose 24 x Robe LEDBeam 100s which were supplied by north Yorkshire based R&M Productions together with four strobes and some LED battens. They hooked into the house overhead rigs at each venue.

R&M additionally built the set which was designed by Cooper and the band and inspired by the “Asymmetry” album artwork. With the tour visiting a variety of venues, culminating at London’s Roundhouse, the whole scenic and lighting concept was designed from the ground up to be scalable, and to fit in almost everywhere.

The LEDBeam 100s were arranged as an array of 12 at the back, eight in the centre, upstage of the drummer, with four on the floor in front of the drum riser. Either side of stage on scaffolding towers were another six in total, and the final six were positioned in two groups of three beneath the two large letters - MK - that comprised the main set pieces. The rear ones were also able to spin round and hit the union jack backdrop.

Cooper used an Avolites Tiger Touch II console with fader wing for control. In addition to his rig, the set was illuminated with LED tape. At the Roundhouse he had access to another 32 x LEDBeam 100s which are part of the house rig.

At the start of the tour Cooper pre-programmed a considerable amount of the Roundhouse show - integrated with his floor package - using Capture Argo. This was morphed each day with whatever lights were available in the venue. Assisting him on the tour were techs Olly Suckling and Zac Leighton.
