Industry Internet Page 30 Years in the Making!


4th September 2007

Lighting industry pioneer and leading event production consultant Colin Baldwin has relaunched his website.  The updated site has also provided Colin with the opportunity of incorporating an illustrated and updated on-line edition of the ‘30 Year History of Rock Lighting and Sound’, originally compiled in collaboration with Graham Harrison and Julius Grafton.

This live entertainment and events industry website records the accumulated achievements of our industry’s most creative designers, talented technicians and inspired manufacturers over the last 3+ decades.

Look behind the scenes with your own backstage pass as the spotlight is turned on “30 Years of Live Production in Australia”, the people and technology that have shaped these live events.

Check out the site’s new collections of memorabilia, tributes, nostalgic images, and rare posters assembled here for the first time for your amusement and edification. Plus see how many industry characters you can recognise in the vastly extended photo gallery and in the rare and previously unseen videos from landmark events like the last night at the Bondi Lifesaver.

Many of the industry’s true pioneers will not be around to recount their recollections between rehearsals for very much longer - in fact, some have already left the stage - and this site is dedicated to their memory.

It is intended that the on-line history will remain dynamic, attracting contributions and contemporary information on landmark developments that’s significance is worthy of recording in the industry’s annals.

In addition to an interest in recording industry history, Colin Baldwin Consulting is dedicated to the continued development of his established LD and design consulting business as well as addressing his accumulation of international opportunities in addition to local clients needs.

The site explains both to the experienced professional and the novice how Baldwin’s acknowledged understanding, resources and experience will deliver practical expertise on all creative and technical aspects of their next successful corporate occasion, outdoor spectacular, live entertainment or installation.
