Last week I lit a "carols", 2/3 of the audience had LED light effects and even LED "candles" Am I getting too old or is this an appalling development.The sound guy used the Mike Rane gain structure method so the sound was noisy and "strangled".Not an edifying night.

Maybe, maybe not

LED is the new "fad" to a certain extent. I think it certainly has a place in the entertainment industry as a whole but am still not certain about it's place in theatre. I mourn the passing of carol events where you could have a real candle, with a real flame, safely nestled in a holder. Such a magical effect!! None of the LED "candles" I've seen can match it, yet. So yes, with the proviso that I wasn't there and didn't see it, I might agree with you David, an appalling development. I refuse to believe I am getting old though! I won't comment on the sound as I am totally ignorant in this area. Cheer up, it's nearly Christmas! (yippee?) "Life is too short to stuff a mushroom"
