I belong to a group called Bullseye Productions, who do variety shows in conjunction with the ocean reef lions club, to raise funds for children with special needs, to buy equipment to assist them to walk, etc.

We do shows approx once/twice a month, and would like to enhance our production by using a follow spot to help light up some of the dark areas of our stage.
We use basic lighting equipment, and think it would help greatly, so we can follow singers through the audience etc.

If you could assist us in any way by lending, selling cheaply, giving, or putting us in touch with someone who has connections to get a basic follow spot, we would appreciate it greatly.

Thanks,

Graeme & Christine.

plz contact on above email or ring 9402 4675.

HI CHRISTINE

BESIDE THE SOURCE 4 YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE TO CONSIDER A MUCH OLDER TYPE OF LIGHT BUT A VERY USEFUL ONE. IT IS A PATTERN 23. IT HAS A BUBBLE BODY AN LONG NOSE AND WAS USED AS A FOLLOWSPOT FOR SMALL VENUES. IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE IT AS A FOLLOWSPOT IT MAKES A GREAT FIXED SPOT LIGHT. IT IS ALSO VERY CHEAP AS THEY ARE ONLY AVAILABLE SECOND HAND FROM PROFESSIONAL AND AMATUER COMPANIES WISHING TO UPGRADE. STIRLING THEATRE CO HAD ONE BEFORE THEY MOVED TO THEIR NEW VENUE.
