Chris Curran, TMB's architectural sales director said: "The Blues System is truly one of those 'why didn't I think of that?' products. It solves many backstage lighting problems, as well as offering options that were previously impractical. We were almost overwhelmed by the positive response at USITT and also by the various possible applications that arose during conversation with the many visitors to our booth."Specifically designed for backstage lighting applications in the working theatre, the Blues system won the PLASA 2006 Innovations Award at its European launch last year and a highly successful relationship with UK distributors Leisuretec Distribution has seen the products already installed at numerous profile venues in Europe with great success."We are delighted to appoint TMB as a further distributor of 'The Blues' and are excited about the potential for this unique system in the American marketplace," enthused GDS director Matt Lloyd.
