Spent 2 weeks foh babysitting for Ne-Yo and Mario on their ongoing Champagne & Roses World Tour. Ten sold out UK arena shows. Providing technical support to their engineers on Digico consoles with Waves packages and making sure all the boxes went back on the right trucks at the end of the night. Great production all round.
The tour was tinged with sadness following the sudden death of production manager Joe Falcón. He was a joy to work with, always had time for every other member of the crew and went out of his way to make sure people were being treated well and with respect. He will be missed.
