BLUR - 1990S STAGE USED 'DISCO' LIGHT SET UP.

Two heavy-duty flight cases both on castors - containing two lighting rigs that would form an important part of Blur's stage show c 1991 - 1994. The two rigs are detachable, with all four pieces measuring 153 x 15 x 93cm. A plastic covering sits above the array of fluorescent tubes and allows for a controllable display, as seen in the video below. The rig was used at many of the band's performances during that period including a Glastonbury appearance.

The vendor, an experienced concert promoter in the Birmingham area who was heavily involved in the Brit-Pop scene would purchase the lighting rig directly from Blur, when they retired it from use. Not suitable for shipping - note that a van is required to transport the two heavy flight cases. Note that the lights in their present state are untested.

Sold for £550
