Amy Winehouse Foundation ball 2014

Brief & objectives

London audio visual support is critical when a charity gala includes live music, celebrity speeches and a fast-moving auction. The Amy Winehouse Foundation asked Halo to create an immersive all-pink experience that would wow 250 VIP guests and maximise donations for its youth programmes as they celebrate their annual charity ball.

Client – Amy Winehouse Foundation
Venue – The Landmark Hotel, Marylebone
Date – 18 November 2014

Halo's AV at Amy Winehouse Foundation

Our solution

Lighting design

First, we ringed the Landmark ballroom with battery uplighters, each mapped to rich pink and magenta hues. Next, Source Four profiles bathed the stage in crisp white, letting presenters sparkle against the pink backdrop.

Stage & scenic

We installed a 30-inch LiteDeck platform on 1-inch legs, framed with a black star-cloth that glittered between speeches and musical numbers. A matching pink runner stitched the stage visually to the room..

Audio-visual highlights

Two 84-inch LED screens flanked the stage, with four additional repeater screens around the room. These displayed impact videos and live auction lots so every guest—from Graham Norton to Barbara Windsor—remained fully engaged.

Results that matter

  • £80,000 raised on the night

  • Zero technical hitches; auction ended exactly on schedule

  • Praise from hosts Vanessa Feltz and Jon Snow for the “flawless production”

What the client said

“Halo’s London audio visual team nailed the brief. The ballroom looked stunning, the sound was crystal clear, and the auction ran without a glitch.” — Event Manager, Amy Winehouse Foundation
