Blue Lights Season 2 Premiere, Braid Theatre, Ballymena

Written By Andrew Murray

Team AXL were delighted to support the Season 2 premiere of Blue Lights at the Braid Theatre in Ballymena in April 2024. The event brought together cast, crew, and invited guests for a special screening followed by a live panel discussion.

The Setup

For the screening, we supplied a 16ft projection screen paired with a 7K laser projector, delivering sharp, cinematic visuals that made full use of the theatre space. It was important that the content looked exactly as intended, and the projection setup ensured a clean, high-quality viewing experience for everyone in the room.

Following the screening, the event moved into a panel discussion. We provided wireless handheld microphones to give flexibility for speakers and audience interaction, keeping everything clear and easy to follow.

Lighting & Support

Lighting was focused on the stage area to ensure the panel was well-lit without taking away from the atmosphere of the theatre. A simple, controlled setup worked best for this type of event — keeping attention on the people and the conversation.

Our technician was onsite throughout the day, managing setup, playback, microphones, and lighting to ensure everything ran smoothly from start to finish.

A Great Evening

It was a brilliant event to be part of, and great to see such a strong turnout for a show that has made a real impact locally. A straightforward setup, delivered well, helping create the right environment for both the screening and the discussion that followed.

Since starting out in the AV industry in 2015, I’ve always believed that great events come down to the people behind them. I spent several years freelancing across almost every AV company in Ireland, building experience and understanding what really matters on site. Like many in the industry, COVID brought a pause, but it also gave me the push to refocus and build something of my own.

Today, I’m focused on growing AXL into one of the leading AV production companies in Ireland. We now deliver AV for over 300 events each year, from smaller corporate meetings to large-scale productions. The aim is straightforward: do the job properly, be dependable, and help clients deliver events they can be proud of.
