The Bilbao Exhibition Centre (BEC) was dressed for a special occasion recently for the farewell concert party for Hertzainak, spread over two nights. Hertzainak was a leading light in the movement known as ‘Basque radical rock’.

For such an auspicious occasion, the eminent Lighting Designer Carlos Cirre was commissioned to design a show that would transport the audience back to the purest style of the 80s and 90s and evoke a retro spirit recreated by 100 state-of-the-art fixtures from the catalogue of GLP.
