The newly refurbished Academy live music venue in Dublin has re-opened under new independent ownership and management in a blaze of glory, complete with Robe moving lights in its three performance spaces … which were specified by leading Irish rental and installation company, Production Services Ireland (PSI).

Robe’s new Colombian distributor Codiscos SA recently staged hands-on technical demonstrations followed by a rock concert in the city of Medellin, all designed to illustrate first hand the capabilities of Robe’s latest technologies to potential clients.

Robe moving lights were chosen by lighting designer Alex Blagg for the recent Alison Krauss & Union Station (AKUS) US tour, which saw the multiple Grammy Award winning bluegrass and country singer/songwriter play 3000 – 7000 seater venues and festivals across the US.

Knoxville, Tennessee based lighting rental and production company TERI Productions designed a spectacular lighting scheme and supplied equipment for the 2011 Living Christmas Tree Event, staged at Thompson Boling Arena, Knoxville.
