The Blue Book
History and
Heritage
“ It’s a great facility and the
Stone Roses loved it.”
Tony Gittins, Production Manager, The Stone Roses Reunion Tour 2012
When, in 2004, as Managing Director of Litestructures, Adrian Brooks decided
to purpose build a world-class rehearsal studio on the company’s home base
manufacturing site in Yorkshire, U.K., he was indeed taking a risk, albeit one in
keeping with his, and the company’s entrepreneurial history. Three decades earlier,
Brooks had created the world’s first lightweight, aluminium modular trussing
system, Astralite, which was used to create the extraordinary set for the live
television show ‘The Tube’ in 1982. Developing and extending this revolutionary,
innovative concept had kept him in touch with the concert and touring marketplace,
most recently with the introduction of LiteDeck, the world’s premier stage decking
system.
The LS-Live Studio launched in 2005, welcoming Coldplay as its first client, and
was later officially opened by H.R.H. Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex. It is now
universally acknowledged as one of Europe’s largest, purpose built and best
equipped studio spaces. It is also the homebase for the re-branded company,
LS-Live, whose extensive facilities and unequalled array of resources allow it to
meet the needs of this sophisticated and dynamic entertainment industry today,
and for years to come.
From its central location in the U.K., LS-Live is ideally placed to serve the varying
demands for equipment hire, stage and set design and build, touring show
rehearsal, customising, and hands-on technical training. This ever-improving
resource has hosted acts like The Stone Roses, Kasabian, Rihanna, Robbie
Williams, Genesis, Kylie, Stereophonics, Lady Gaga, and productions for ITV, BBC,
Matte Black Films, Bentley, M-Sport, War of the Worlds, the Olympic Torch Relay
and many more.
Now managed by Adrian’s son, Ben Brooks, LS-Live is a potent corporate entity,
with a friendly family feel, driven as ever by a ‘can do’ attitude. Also a part of the
family’s portfolio on site are new vocational training centre, BACKSTAGE ACADEMY®
- where students and professionals can learn the creative and technical skills
required to produce cutting-edge live events – and truss manufacturing company
Prolyte Products UK, which acquired Brilliant Stages in 2012.
LS-Live works with clients across all
sectors of the live event and entertainment
industries and can adapt its approach and
product to suit their varying needs.

LS-LIVE
LS-Live is a unique, one-stop-shop facility,
unifying three distinct areas of operation Stage & Set Construction, Equipment
Rental and Studio, merging them into a
single, powerful entity. Add into the mix
on-site custom design and manufacture
and you have the most capable, flexible,
experienced and user-friendly force in the
concert, touring, TV and film, and events
marketplace.
STAGE & SET CONSTRUCTION
This is an area in which LS-Live truly excels, and one for
which we have already won awards. The key here is that,
as well as providing ready access to the world’s leading
range of modular components, we offer unrivalled design
and build facilities on site. Ideas can take shape quickly,
efficiently, and as they emerge. We are a leading supplier
in the design and fabrication of stage sets, temporary
structures, automation equipment, props, custom
electrical pieces, staging and much more. Concert and
touring sets can be conjured and configured to suit all
budgets.
EQUIPMENT RENTAL
The LS-Live Hire Dept. offers the biggest stocks of the
best gear, ranging from industry-standard LiteDeck
modules right down to the little things that make life
easier. We will even custom build items to add into a hire
package. Comprehensive and competitive, LS-Live should
be your first port of call, however humble or ambitious
your project, and the advice, born of years of experience,
is free.
STUDIO
The LS-Live Studio is Europe’s largest, purpose - built
studio facility that offers a real-life arena-sized
environment for everything from rehearsals of concert
tours, to TV and film productions, to product launches
and corporate events. It is supported by world-class
facilities, smaller studios and accommodation, as well
as dedicated staff.

“ The only way we could build and
produce a show this size would be
at LS-Live. We were going to need
all hands on deck, and we needed
the staging company, engineers and
drawing team on hand throughout the
building process”
Antony Randall, Show Producer / Designer,
Jay-Z’s headline show at BBC Radio 1 Hackney Weekend
Case Studies
Johnnie Walker Viewing Tower at Goodwood Festival of Speed
STAGE & SET CONSTRUCTION: 1.0
STAGE & SET CONSTRUCTION: 1.0
Kasabian, Velociraptor! World Tour
LS-Live worked with top London experiential marketing agency RPM
and Johnnie Walker to develop a bespoke viewing tower for the Scottish
whisky brand at the 2011 Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Based on an initial concept for a viewing tower, LS-Live developed the
idea into a multi-platform unit with viewing decks, a covered terrace,
discreet entrance, lounge area and facilities for live music.
The company’s in house design team worked the ideas into detailed
CAD drawings for the client, indicating a structural footprint of 12.8m by
18.6m, with the first platform at 8m high and the second at 12m high.
Kasabian’s production team used our studio facility to build and rehearse
their stage show in 2011, using our in-house team to produce an
innovative dome shaped truss structure that could support lighting and
video as part of the set.
The Johnnie Walker Viewing Tower was built out of Layher products,
combined with an aluminum truss roof and reached 16.4m high at its
peak.
Tsingtao Dragon, Mojo Fuel Ltd
LS-Live designed and fabricated a bespoke fire-breathing, ping pong
shooting dragon robot for client Mojo Fuel Ltd, to travel throughout UK
bars as part of Chinese beer brand Tsingtao’s Dragon Masters Ping Pong
experience tour in July 2012.
Show Producer/Designer Antony Randall said the only facility capable
of designing and producing a stage set of this size under huge time
constraints was us. We helped pull together a massive, movable, multilevel structure in under a week for his headline show in June 2012,
which featured Rihanna.
“We came to LS-Live with a really unique challenge, one which other
suppliers couldn’t even attempt. LS-Live solved the problem, they took
our original ideas and improved them - we’re really happy with the end
result and it was pleasure working with the team.”

Jay-Z, BBC Radio 1 Hackney Weekend
LS-Live designed and built a stage set for Tinie Tempah’s first UK
arena tour in 2011, to include a raised three-tier LiteDeck stage system
and three bespoke Versatube clad cages on scissor lifts to elevate the
performers during the show, and a manlift for Tinie Tempah’s reveal.
Event production agency Ear to the Ground commissioned LS-Live to
create a custom scissor lift platform for their client Samsung to feature
in the Olympic Torch Relay events around the country.

Karak Castle
LS-Live’s Mark Jackson travelled to Jordan to install a colour-changing
LED lighting system that he had designed to illuminate the whole
exterior of Karak Castle and other city landmark features. The lighting
show is viewed from an amphitheatre 600m away, which was designed
and installed by LS-Live using Prolyte manufactured trussing. The show
is controlled via our LiteSwitch control system and programmed in time
to a presentation, for a unique visitor experience. For more information
on LiteSwitch, turn to the back pages of this book, or visit:
www.lite-switch.co.uk
LS-Live created a custom triple size DJ booth to boost the visual
performance of A-list DJs for live music/dance hotel brand Ibiza Rocks
for the summer of 2012. The product is a pioneering adaptation of the
aluminium LiteConsole which has been specially fabricated to support
LED panels.
AutoCAD
Using industry-leading drawing software package AutoCAD, LS-Live
can quickly and efficiently create an accurate architectural drawing
or 3D model for your design, allowing you to visualise the dimensions
Showcase
Once an accurate digital drawing has been created, we can transform it
into a highly realistic visual using Autodesk Showcase 3D visualisation
software, allowing you to evaluate and manipulate detail to try out
different ideas, without the need to create a physical prototype.
Design
Our experienced in house design team can work to a verbal brief or
simple sketch to transform your idea into a working drawing, whether
for a standard stage, custom stage set, hospitality unit, special structure
or piece of scenery, advising on health and safety considerations and
ensuring your design is tour worthy.

and layout of your finished product. We can also supply DWG files when
required.
Fabrication
LS-Live has a highly skilled team
fronting the manufacturing department
on site that can bring to life any stage
set or structure imaginable using
state-of-the-art machinery combined
with years of experience.
Using our years of experience in carpentry and joinery techniques, we
can fabricate custom signs, structures, props, set pieces and stages of
the highest quality and durability.

Manufacture
Neon Flex
Widely regarded as an inventor extraordinaire, our in house electronics
engineer has created everything from the Scissor Sisters’ iconic stage
set “legs” to a custom hoist control system for the new Jesus Christ
LS-Live also specialises in creating custom neon signs. For example our
trained engineers and technicians produced a custom colour-changing
LED RGB tubed backdrop sign for pop sensation Jessie J’s first major
Superstar show, and a bespoke automated mock x-ray machine. We
are capable of manufacturing just about anything; our skills extend to,
but are not limited to, electrical engineering, wiring, hydraulics and
mechanics.
UK tour.
In 2012, LS-Live became sole manufacturer of DMX lighting controller
LiteSwitch, after Mark Jackson noted a gap in the market for an easy-touse control system for LEDs that even the least technical people can use
to create impressive lighting designs. See the back of this brochure for
more info on LiteSwitch.

Measuring 5.5m x 5.5m, the stage can be adapted to suit your needs
with additional ramps, step units and optional grey PVC for the back and
sides. The structure can support a small amount of lighting, but is not
designed for large loads. Due to the arch construction, PA wings are not
available for this structure, with freestanding towers being the preferred
alternative.
If you are looking for a complete staging hire package to include
lighting, PA system, sound engineer and generator etc, please speak to
one of the team who will be happy to help: 44(0)1977 659888.

Rolling House Stages
LS-Live specialises in industry standard rolling house stages for longterm installation or concert touring. Our rolling house stages are based
on a LiteDeck stage system, complete with legs, handrails and step
systems and are fully compatible with all LiteDeck shapes. They are
available in a variety of different sizes and heights, up to 60’ by 40’.
Extremely lightweight: 8’ x 4’ unit weighs only 50kgs
The leg frame system has been designed incorporating feedback from
crews and rental companies, to facilitate the fastest and easiest build
possible. Using four way leg tops minimises the number of legs, whilst
Minimum rolling height: 5’ 6” (1676mm)
snap on braces are both quick and steady. The system also allows easy
access to the underside of the stage with clear walkways under both
upstage/downstage left to right.

LiteConsole
The LiteConsole is a rock solid concert touring and event DJ console
that will boost the stage presence of any performer. First inspired by
Paul Oakenfold’s desire to maximise his visual impact on Madonna’s
‘Sticky & Sweet’ tour, the console has already been a hit on tour with
Tinchy Stryder, Example and Tinie Tempah. Our LiteConsole comes
complete with a custom vinyl nameplate for the front of the booth and
an LED batten.
It’s designed to be durable and flexible for life on the road; it rolls
straight on and off stage for quick changeovers and can also be rolled
directly onto the truck before heading off to your next gig.
It is an extremely versatile and easy-to-assemble podium structure
perfect for exhibition stands, corporate presentations, retail
environments and musicians. Its innovative modular design means
you can double the size of the console with a simple extension pack.
+
Available from £250 VAT per week.
XPRS
The XPRS is the newest product added to our rental stock that will no
doubt transform the visual performance and lives of mobile DJs up and
down the country. It is the latest incarnation of the LiteConsole, only
lighter, quicker to assemble with a folding system and therefore more
portable. It has already been used at V Festival in 2012.
The XPRS can be assembled by just one person in a matter of minutes
and the frame flat packs neatly to fit into the boot of an average car. The
product can feature a logo panel to the front, or this space could support
a 50” plasma screen, back-lit corporate logo, LED panels, drape or
similar form of branding.

Available from £75 VAT per week.

Faithless Secret Gig
Matte Black Films produced and filmed a free climbing scene involving a
suspended structure designed and built by LS-Live in February 2012.
In March 2007, Faithless performed a secret one-off gig for a select
group of 260 fans in the LS-Live Studio, which was filmed for Channel 4.
Fans were taken by coach from central Leeds to the ‘secret location’ and
upon entering the Studio, had a sneak preview of the band’s production.
Jay-Z
The Stone Roses
Tour Group turned to LS-Live to help design and build a three tier moving
stage set for Radio 1’s Hackney Weekend in May 2012 which was
constructed in the LS-Live Studio.
The production team for the iconic Manchester rock band chose us as
the perfect facility to pull together their comeback shows in May 2012.

A 350 channel DMX controller
with 12 keys and a 32 character

Through our years of experience in special electrical projects and
installations, we have noted an increasing demand by our clients for a
lighting control system to operate LED lighting displays that is easier to
use for the non-technical person.
More and more architectural applications are making use of DMX lighting
fixtures such as LEDs, whether for restaurants, hotels, museums, bars or
historical buildings, but often the control systems can be too complex for
the average employee to understand.
LS-Live’s Mark Jackson has pioneered the development of the LiteSwitch
control system, an easy-to-use lighting control system with a simple
interface designed to fill this gap in the market.
Colours, intensities, dynamic effects and immensely complex lighting
programs can be called up by the push of a single button. It is able to
control up to 350 DMX channels and its power is further enhanced by the
provision of real time clock functions, PIR sensing, daylight detection
and general purpose remote switching functions.
All this can be programmed from the keypad using the simple menu
system without the need to plug in an external computer. For those with
more experience in the entertainment lighting world, the LiteSwitch
snapshot mode allows them to use their favourite control desk or PC
based control system to set up their lights.

LS-Live is the home of BACKSTAGE ACADEMY®, an industry-led training centre delivering a wide
range of courses tailored for the live events industry, including custom training packages to suit
your needs. The ACADEMY is conveniently located next to the Studio on the second floor of LSLive, making it easy for crew to book onto a course during their visit.
BACKSTAGE ACADEMY® regularly welcomes both industry newcomers and experienced
professionals onto courses such as Rigging, Event Safety Passport, Stage Pyrotechnics and
WYSIWYG. The ACADEMY is known for its quality tutors, state-of-the-art facilities, industry
knowledge and approachable team. You will be made to feel very welcome on your course and end
up networking with some like-minded people.
The training centre offers everything from short courses for those wanting to try their hand at
something new, to month-long courses for people that want to get into a particular discipline such
as Lighting, Live Sound or Staging, right up to the 16-month Foundation Degree in Live Events
Production (validated by The University of Bolton).
We are always looking to expand our network of industry ‘supporters’, both individuals and
companies. Individuals might want to pass on their experience via tutoring courses or being a guest
speaker, or put themselves forward as a trustee. Manufacturers may want to loan equipment or
engage with us to deliver training. Please get in touch if you would like to discuss ways of getting
involved.

“Having been in this business for more than 30 years, I’m a great
advocate of ‘putting something back’ and I take my hat off to

THE NEXT STAGE
“When we booked the production rehearsals for The Stone Roses
at LS-Live, I was pleased to learn that the facility now incorporates
the BACKSTAGE ACADEMY® training centre, as it meant I could
put all the crew through the Event Safety Passport course on one
of the quieter days. Even the more skeptical crew who had been
in the industry a long time thought it was worth doing and found it
useful because it raises their awareness of health and safety when
they’re working around the stage set.”

all aspects of the business and its state-of-theart facilities have been designed in line with the
Carbon Trust Scheme, with the aim of reducing
the business’ carbon emissions. The en-suite
bedrooms, gym, multi-purpose studios, dressing
rooms, catering, production offices and green
room are all equipped with energy-saving LED
lighting and carbon efficient air conditioning.
In 2009, LS-Live joined forces with a new European rental partner, leading German set and lighting
design company Gunther Hecker GmbH, based in Werne. Its portfolio boasts a host of cuttingedge live events, TV shows and bands, including lighting design for The Fabulous Four (Die
Fantastischen Vier) and Tokio Hotel.
Investment in the building’s infrastructure has also
made LS-Live more eco-friendly; all the heating,
cooling and hot water is now generated via solar
panels that have been installed on the roof.
The business is steered by founder Gunther Hecker’s 20 years experience in the industry, which
started with an early career in theatre. He now oversees the application of the company’s extensive
lighting and visual skills across a variety of disciplines, from music productions to impressive
architectural and building installations. Gunther Hecker GmbH does not only provide standard
decks, but also offers a variety of circular stages and macrolon-decks.

The core material of all LS-Live’s projects is
aluminium and we are proud to be aligned with
what is widely regarded as a ‘green’ metal; the
main reason being it is 100% recyclable. Around
three quarters of all aluminium ever made remains
in use today. Mining of aluminium causes minimal
disruption to the environment and it’s also easy
to extract.
