All Systems Go For Shangri- la at Glastonbury

Finally we are in production for Shangri-la at Glastonbury again- everyone is very excited about this year’s developments & can’t wait to get their teeth into it with some great architecurural light installations planned... more new as it develops, see what weve done it the past here & look to the future.


The beginning of May was flat out with the major project being the press Junket for the premier of fast & furious 6. Astral stepped into the breach to produce 7 custom structures to be deployed as camera overhangs for the shoot featuring wide shots of the London skyline for the interviews. The custom builds we individual designed to fit each balcony location on the 13th & 15th floors of the park Plaza hotel Westminster. It was not on the movie that was fast & furious on this particular occasion.

an evening with Suggs raises funds for cancer charity

An Evening with Suggs

We would like to say a very big thank you to The Gig Company for organising "an evening of frivolity and fun with Suggs and friends", which benefited Pancreatic Cancer UK, on 14th March 2013. Thanks to the generosity of everyone who attended, income generated from the evening was just under £100,000 which is a wonderful result.
The venue (Porchester Hall in London) looked stunning and fun was had by all. After dinner, music was provided by Suggs, Jools Holland, Wilko Johnson, Glenn Tilbrook and Bo Bruce amongst others.
The evening was hosted by Phill Jupitus and a money can't buy auction and gift tree raffle completed this fabulous, unique event. Massive congratulations all-round to everyone involved!
