pOoTer's pSycheDelic shAcK - Lightshows (Brave Goliath's Lightmare)

My name is Chris Runciman. I ran a lightshow in Exeter in Devon UK in the middle 60's called Brave Goliath's Lightmare.

Shows at Exeter Uni.. Tech College and Art College and various clubs and 'happenings' , Ballet Rombert at Northcotte Theatre.etc.
I was 'headhunted' by the members of Principal Edwards Magic Theatre to join the group. Gave up my day job to go full time with them.
The first long tour was as support to the Pink Floyd on their Piper at the Gates of Dawn Tour, sounds very grand now but most of the gigs were clubs and Floyd were in a Ford Transit !!

We shared projectors but not secrets.............I later met up with Claire Seargent (Pale Green Limousine Lightshow) at The Temple in Wardour Street London. As we arrived about 4am to do a late show she offered me the use of her projectors to save on set up time. Unfortunately she had removed the heat filters as her show was predominantly liquids but mine was a mix of slides and fluids......you can imajine my face as some of my prized images melted quite spectacularly during the show! Claire and I then became an item for a while.

My first real true love and I met her over a projector..............

35+ years on and I am still in the show production business..
