The helipad of an 18 storey building on a cold winter’s night is not a typical place for a cinema screening, but the launch of Virgin Media’s movies-on-demand service Virgin Movies was no typical event.

With the huge technical advances made in home and cinema entertainment, there is a real danger that traditional regional venues - which often have a multifunctional role as theatres, cinemas and community centres - could fall short of contemporary audience expectations.

Yamaha CL5s Bring A Smile To Steve Harley Orchestral Show

1.2.2013

It’s rare that an artist with such a long and successful career as Steve Harley takes over 40 years to realise a major ambition for his music, but one was achieved at the end of November with a performance at the Birmingham Symphony Hall. With three Yamaha digital consoles managing a complex mix, the sold-out show was a triumph well worth waiting four decades for.
