"The lightshow - the firework crystal bombs of exploding yellows bounce off the 15 foot chandelier, blue and red bursts of colour change position so that keyboardist Mira Aroyo, though stock still, appears to be jolting violently... It's quite stunning."

Peter Guy, reviewing Ladytron at Liverpool St Georges Hall 10/6/11 on GetIntoThis website

Sara Gill reviewing Newton Faulkner at the Royal Concert Hall, Nottingham, March 2010, in thisisnottingham.co.uk

"Most of the lighting is subdued for the set up to now and 'Feels Like Home' ups it a notch with raspberry swirl lighting... Now [‘Teardrop’] has a huge glitterball spilling windows of light, and a curtain of LEDs and looks like a Massive Attack gig."

Scott Williams reviewing Newton Faulkner at Exeter Great Hall, February 2008 on egigs.co.uk

"Newton Faulkner was something of a theatrical experience. I have to praise all those involved in the lighting for creating something stunning yet not overpowering - those white globes were genius."

"Won’t Let Go also displays Faulkner’s increasingly impressive live voice, as he sings over a backing of what appears to be a cassette tape playing the track’s rushing strings, with a Hall flooded by cascading colours. Just as stunning Teardrop is accompanied by swirling kaleidoscope-esque lighting, which perfectly matches the fragile vocals."

"..and what a spectacle this all made. We had dazzling lights..."

Review of Newton Faulkner at The Lowry, Manchester 19/10/09 from Rocksnail

"A simply awe-inspiring light show accompanied what was a mesmerising performance."

Stephen Milnes, reviewing Guillemots at Newcastle Academy, illuminated by Martin’s Lights, 5th February 2007.

Concerts, international tours, festivals, and corporate events are supported with a variety of services- lighting design, consultancy and equipment hire, full lighting production, complete event lighting management and the supply of lighting designers, operators and technicians. Martin’s Lights holds a large stock of lighting equipment, allowing us to service a wide variety of large events, simultaneous shows and hires.

From its earliest days, Martin’s Lights has invested time, money and energy into building a company that prides itself on undertaking every event, job or project, whether that be a small club show for a band, a full concert tour, or a large corporate or charity event, to the very highest standard in every area- design concept, equipment specification and preparation, technician skills and attitude, logistics and administration, health and safety, and, of course, the execution of the actual show or event itself. This philosophy has seen the company grow year-on-year, and in 2008, Martin’s Lights became a Limited company.
