White Light provided a complete lighting package for the tour, which was designed by LD Simon Tutchener. He described his approach to lighting the tour:
“I wanted to include a lot of colour and texture into the lighting. This was my 3rd George Benson tour, so I was able to incorporate my previous experience and knowledge into this tour and have some fun with it!”
