The Royal Albert Hall Preferred AV Partner

SFL are delighted to be appointed as the preferred AV
Partner for The Royal Albert Hall

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

SFL are delighted to announce that they have been appointed as the preferred AV Partner for one of the most prestigious venues in the world, The Royal Albert Hall.

The Royal Albert Hall was built to fulfil the vision of Prince Albert (Queen Victoria's consort) of a 'Central Hall' that would be used to promote understanding and appreciation of the Arts and Sciences and would stand at the heart of the South Kensington estate, surrounded by museums and places of learning.

The Hall is a Grade I Listed building; and has been in continuous use since it was opened in March 1871. It was always conceived as a multipurpose building to host not only concerts of music but exhibitions, public meetings, scientific conversations and award ceremonies. It is a registered charity held in trust for the nation but is financially self sufficient: it receives no funding from central or local government.

The Hall enjoyed its most successful year in 2010, with a record-breaking 381 events in the main auditorium, a further 150 in its other spaces and over 1.5 million visitors. 2011 has been just as exciting so far with the return of Cirque du Soleil, Eric Clapton, Liza Minnelli, Janet Jackson and the hugely popular Strictly Gershwin to name but a few.

Tom King, Head of Show Management at the Royal Albert Hall said "We are very proud of this new relationship with SFL. We continually strive for excellence in delivering the highest standard of events at the Hall. Having SFL on board will further strengthen the service we offer to promoters and production companies"

In the past 8 years SFL have provided both audio and video solutions for a number of high profile events, recently these have included Audio for Cinderella on Ice and a five screen video solution for an “In the round” performance by world renowned piano player Lang Lang. SFL has also provided screens and full camera solutions for events such as Bafunny Bafunny and Swanning Around.

AV Manager Craig Lawrence said "We are proud to have been selected to work in partnership with such an iconic venue and we are really looking forward to developing our relationship with the hall and its team delivering world class technical provision for its many promoters"
