EDITOR’S LETTER
CHAIN HOISTS • CONTROL SYSTEMS • SOLUTIONS
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!
No doubt some of you reading this will remember the very first issue of Total Production - which
coincidentally also featured Damon Albarn on the front cover! - and I don’t mean to make you feel
your age (you don’t look it, honestly - especially you, Damo!), but this is our 20-year anniversary
issue! So much has changed since the magazine’s inception, and we’re so very thankful for your
continued support and readership (and drinking abilities).
Gorillaz grace our front page this issue, and having never watched the band or seen their
production live before, I was more than uplifted upon leaving the arena after I had. It’s such a fun,
emotion-spanning show to witness, that I’d recommend you catch it next time they play near you.
And if you too feel like joining a gospel choir afterwards, well, you’ve got my number!
Ste and Stew have been in full backstage journo mode & deliver articles on the contrasting
concerts of Ibiza Classics and Queens Of The Stone Age, respectively. Not to mention, lots of other
original content including Neuron Pro Audio’s demo day success with Danley Sound Labs, a peek
inside the powerhouse that is lighting rental partner to the Eurovision Song Contest, Litecom, and
a chat with the latest Production Futures interviewees, ON LX, recipients of a TPi Breakthrough
Talent Award. Nice one lads!
Speaking of which, this is the last edition before we undertake the TPi Awards 2018! If you’re
attending on 26 February, be sure to say hello. We’re hosting our TPi Daytime sessions again; the
PSA’s Andy Lenthall will host the talk on Training, Education & Career Development, and I’ll be
chairing the Mental Health & Crew Welfare session. I hope to see you there & I’m excited to see
what positive changes a group of passionate thinkers & debaters can achieve!
