The month started with 3 weeks of stripping out the flying system at The Newcastle Theatre Royal. Unusual move back to Newcastle in August with a 9 week installation programme to put in the new system.

Work is due for completion at RAF Cosford, it's big Motorshow time at Excel, the Wembley PA rig continues, The Red Hot Chili Peppers are at Earls Court, Garsington de-rigs and the Wicked rig starts at The Apollo Victoria Theatre. Our steel fabrication unit working at capacity producing a serious amount of bracketry for the Wicked.

The theatre touring side of Unusual's business is as busy as ever with My Fair Lady touring into Southampton and Cardiff, Miss Saigon loads out of Bristol, Cats goes into Bradford, Starlight goes into Glasgow and Dublin and Mamma Mia into Pretoria.

Massive BBC TV coverage for a search for Maria for The Sound of Music starts. Sadly, we are unable to provide a Maria, so instead, we will settle for rigging it.
