Crikey Matron!

I was just on a job in the Palais Des festival in Cannes, where they do the film festival. We were just starting the get in this happened. No body was working with this flying bar, it just decided to make a grand entrance. Sorry about the quality of the pictures (a lampie took them, what can I say?) It bent like spaghetti, none of us had ever seen the like before. The was quite a bit of French grouchiness amongst the locals because this was all in house. There was still no proper explanation of what caused it by the time I left, I will let you know if I find out. It caused us a bit of stress too as we were not allowed on stage for six hours whilst they got it all down and made safe. It all helps keep the interest up I suppose.

woa! Lucky it didnt actually fall, especially on someone!

Mind it looks like it would make an interesting shape lighting bar. Just move it to the back of the stage lol.

crikey! it wasnt becuase of the earthquake was it? lol.

seriously though, the security chains should have held all of that in place - unless the roof itself has given way.

health and safety blah blah...
