‘House lights down before the show starts – that’s the biggest buzz for the lighting guy. And the call from backstage saying the band are ready. Then they ask if you’re ready, and then, as the lighting guy, you get to call house lights down and the crowd goes wild and the hairs on your arms rise up. Then the lights come up and away you go. It’s that amazing buzz. Anticipation and excitement. Everyone is there to see their favourite band. You get to pick up on all that, being out front as the lighting guy. You pick up on all that energy.
