Experiential agency Tinder-Box, created an elegant farewell dinner for some 60 guests to honour the outgoing President of Volvo South Africa. The full technical for this occasion was professionally catered for by MJ Event Gear and included the new Robe 100 Beams.
Held at the Hilton Ballroom on 21 April 2012, Volvo management along with some of their biggest clients gathered to say good-bye to Anders Lindblad, who plans to relocate back to Sweden. The occasion included performances by Fever Trio, the Volvo Star for Life choir (Star for life is a non-profit Swedish school created in South Africa), and a surprise act by Swedish band Tripple & Touch, who have performed with the Star for Life Choir on several occasions – just in from Sweden that night!
The original spec included 12 LED Parcans, Source Fours, MAC 250 Entours and Prolyte Trussing. However, when MJ’s delivery of 24 Robe 100 Beams arrived just prior to the show, Theo Rood, production Manager at MJ for this event, ensured that 12 of the fixtures were put on the show. This was a perfect opportunity to put the 100 Beams through their paces and they left all at MJ….”very impressed!” 
Although time was a challenge, MJ delivered a successful show as shown in the pictures. In house designer, Johnny Scholtz lit the show amazingly and utilised the 100 Beams to colour wash the ceiling, assist in house lights and create memorising backlighting effects to the stage.
It was a great pleasure to supply gear and services to Tinder-Box , who are an energetic group of people with Dom Smith at the helm. They too were also so impressed with the 100 Beams that they have requested that the units feature on all their future events.
