It was Time to make a disco light box.

I ask my Dad to go and pick up the sheet of Perspex I had to bye a 4*8 feet peace I remember it was very expensive. I and my Dad cut it down in to two 3*3 feet pacers to make the two light boxers I wired up the boxers into 3 channels got some recess handle from maplin electronic shop to put on the side of the disco lighting boxer with 2 bulgin 8 way plugs on the back and a coat of mate black paint. My stage lights & sound rental business was starting to take place. I hade many planes to make it a professional road show for doing Light and PA Hire. The next week after finishing the building of the boxers I hade got an outdoor sound equipment PA job with an accompaniment from a local rock band. Time to give my new light box the big test “YES” they worked very nice lighting most of the grass where the people were dancing. That night I started the show my friend how to work my Fal disco decks Darren Grooby I left him for a couple of mints so a could walk down the field to have a look from a distance. I can still see that seen in my mind every time I hear the YMCA playing. We side goodbye the band started the pack away the sound equipment into this old red white and blue caravan that thing an embarrassment and a advert all in one wish I had a picture of it to put on here. My goodness what a sight it was! But you could put loads of sound equipment easily into it accommodating the stage lighting and an old armchair with no problem..
