Glowsticks galore! ✨ Well done to everyone who took part in last night’s Midnight Glow Walk for @mysaintmichaels Hospice in Harrogate 💫
What a brilliant night! We provided the stage, PA, and start/finish arch (with lights!)
It was also a pleasure to work with @yourharrogate

Let's talk stage branding for a minute 💡
We've started insisting on consulting and supplying stage branding/banners when we hire out our stages.
There's nothing worse than:
❌ putting all that man-power in to erecting a stage and having a client put badly designed, poor quality branding up;
❌ telling a client they can't hang their banners because they've ordered the wrong material (even after being given the correct specs).
We actually didn't consult with York LGBT Pride on their banner designs. They just got it right, from the design to the material used. The main stage looked so great, we now insist all our clients follow their example!
Here's how to get it right:
✅ Discuss with you PA/AV company where they plan to stack PA and equipment. Ground stacked PA (like in the video here) is likely to sit in front of the PA wings or skirt/valance. Make sure your graphic designer knows the safe areas for branding.
✅ Keep it simple and BIG. Just because the banners are big, that absolutely does NOT mean you should fill it with as much info as possible. A good graphic designer will know the limits and will hopefully talk you out of putting unnecessary clutter on there!
✅ Got sponsors? Try to limit the amount of stage sponsorship packages you sell so that you're not filling the banners with small logos. Exclusivity is much more valuable to your sponsors - and will look SO much better and impactful.
✅ The material needs to be wind and sound permeable. Wing banners and back scrims must be mesh, otherwise you're turning our stage into a very expensive kite! We often fly PA behind the banners too, so the material needs to let the sound through. We will refuse PVC banners.
✅ Consider how your stage looks from the back of the crowd. Keep the logos and information you want seen as high as possible. If you're expecting a big audience, then consider ditching the idea of a front valance or front barrier branding to save budget - they just don't get seen!
This is what going above and beyond looks like 🤣

Thank you @yorkproms 🎶 what a spectacular night!
Well that was nearly a 24hr stint for our crew, building two stages (10m & 7m), triple ES @kv2.audio system, 56 light fixtures and what felt like 5km of cable runs! All put up, run, and de-rigged in 23hours.
And stunning work from our friends @real_time_events who expertly covered the event with a live feed to the big screen - we can’t wait to see all that footage.

York Proms - The penultimate event in our main summer season.
The last 12 weeks has seen Soapy Productions deliver 36 events across Yorkshire and the Midlands. Working with some fantastic event partners including our close friends Real Time Events to deliver 2 of York's most established events for the first time.
Thank you to @thelastlegofficial for featuring our “General Electern” on the show and auctioning it off for @cr_uk and @su2cuk!
We couldn’t be prouder that our lectern became the focus of history in the making! 🤣

The Soapy crew had a blast providing the AV for @theyorkmix Hero Awards last night ✨👏🏻
A thoroughly inspiring evening showcasing the best of York.
It was brilliant to work with the highly professional team from @real_time_events who added an extra bit of spark with a live camera feed to screens throughout the venue and streamed online. We love working with these guys as they make everything we do look even better!
No rest for the Soapy team who were straight back out early this morning to Race For Life events in Sheffield.
The stage is set for @theyorkmix Hero Awards 2024 ✨
Along with the full set, PA and lighting, we’re also joined by the team @real_time_events providing live camera feeds to the screens across the venue and streamed online 🎥
Let the show commence!
