I’ve had a working relationship with JTS since 2017, when I engaged them to design and run lights for a major Folk Festival in Ibiza. This developed into a regular relationship and included an additional Festival in Portugal the same year. They are still my ‘go to’ lighting Design and Operate, for these festivals which continue to flourish. Acts they have lit include Los Pacaminos ( Paul Young), Nik Kershaw, Tony Christie, Show of Hands, Martin Simpson, Track Dogs, Fairport Convention to name but a few. At these events, building a relationship with the client (me) and the artist is vital as is trust. In both these areas these guys are professional and deliver exactly what they have been asked for… They are with me again in Portugal 2023 to see what we can do for Wishbone Ash…..
It is worth mentioning that they also run a sound stage at these festivals, and have created lasting friendships with a lot of the artists who perform under their calm and careful engineering. Acoustic “ Folk Idiom” artists can be demanding as can their instruments, and Jts always rise to the challenge!
