Busy Weekend

Our Studio was busy over the weekend with video production work and duplications. We also have lots of transfer work to do including old cine films to DVD, a collection of old pictures and 2¼ plate negatives that need scanning using our high definition 6 pass scanner. We also had some urgent work for a client in Blackburn who needed the studio job done over the weekend.

Meanwhile in the workshop we did a refit of equipment for Elvis Tribute singer Paul Stevens. The equipment he had was back breaking heavy so we built a separate ABS flight case with full connections to the rear for ease. The unit is now 50% lighter!!! While we where at it Paul took full advantage of our Discount PAT Testing Day every Saturday for DJ's Groups and Solo singers!

Our Online Shop www.audio-visual-uk.co.uk is really busy with the sales and the shop counter sales are also very busy.

Of course the simple way to find product is to simply type the item you are looking for in the "search" bar. Gregory Audio Visual are now selling a range of "Stage Lamps" this range will be expanded over the next months and we feel that by purchasing direct from the manufacturer Gregory's will be in a very powerful position to offer the best prices on Lamps, Bulbs and Stage Lighting Products.
