Britannia Row Productions celebrates 46 years today!
Britannia Row was formed in 1975 out of Pink Floydâs desire to tour less frequently, allowing the crew to use their equipment for touring rental jobs year-round.
Brit Row Director, Mike Lowe, reminisces about this time of close-knit networking:
âThe production fraternity in those days, particularly for London-based crew, were very connected. There were fewer of us then. Those not working when in London gathered at night in various watering holes around Wardour Street and at The Speakeasy Club in Margaret Street. Itâs where we got to know one another and where I began to get to know some of the Pink Floyd crew. Before mobile phones and the internet landed, much of our work was picked up by word-of-mouth in these pubs and clubs. Then these relationships with the Pink Floyd camp were strengthened on the road.â
Over the last 46 years, weâve been fortunate enough to continue our rock ânâ roll legacy while also navigating into live sports, high-end fashion, corporate work, installed sound and virtual audio solutions.
It continues to be a difficult time for our industry, yet we canât wait to safely continue doing what we do best, working with some incredibly talented crews, artists and managers.
From David Gilmour to Kasabian, Dua Lipa to Harry Styles, the London Cabaret Club, Aida at Masada (in the desert!), the (Virgin Atlantic 787) concert which saw Rudimental and Gorgon City play a gig on a plane at 35,0000 ft, and Robbie Williamsâ Swing Tour to name just a few, we remain ready to support exceptional live experiences.
Led by our new wave of Directors, L*z Dwight, Nicola Amoruso and Christina Bosch, hereâs to the next 46 years of doing so as part of the Clair Global family.
Congratulations Britannia Row!
