Audiovisual supply and production company, Blitz North, has been appointed as the sole AV and technical staging provider to the Liverpool Music Awards.
Sponsored by the City Council, the awards are a key part of Liverpool’s International Music Festival, held over August and September.
“It was clear that Blitz were the right team to work with our management and catering team,” says Ellie Phillips, Founder and Director of the awards. “They demonstrated the creative flair we were looking for, essential for the awards, while remaining professional and extremely reliable. I’m looking forward to the ceremony at St George’s Hall knowing how spectacular it is going to be in their hands”.
Chris Jordan, Blitz Communications’ Head of Sound added: “We have a strong background in the world of theatre and music and we welcome the opportunity to be involved in the festival.”
Additional recent projects handled by Blitz North include the world premiére of The Stone Roses’ film, Made of Stone, screened at Manchester’s Victoria Warehouse, and Freeze, Liverpool’s homage to the Ibiza dance music scene, held at the St George’s Hall.
In related news, Piccadilly Live was recently awarded a contract by Nineteen Events to supply its B2B event, Clinical Cosmetic & Reconstructive (CCR) Expo, with a range of technical production services. The show will bring together the international surgical and non-surgical community at one major-scale event, from 11 – 12 October 2013 at London’s Olympia.
Peter Jones, Nineteen Events’ CEO and Nicola Greenway, Nineteen Events’ Marketing and Operations Director visited EPS 2013 looking for new suppliers for the event and three of the technical event production companies who were exhibiting at the show were selected to do a 10-minute pitch to Jones and Greenway, from its stand. Piccadilly Live delivered the successful pitch and were subsequently invited to Nineteen Events’ offices to discuss the project in more detail.
