Previous winner of the Breakthrough Talent Awards at Production Futures, Elliot Baines has made strides both as the owner of Spiralstagelighting and as a Lighting Designer and Stage Designer over the years, and in 2024, the 20-year-old took on one of his largest projects to date, designing a show for Calum Scott’s recent headline show at Hammersmith’s Eventim Apollo.
“I met Calum a few years ago, and since then we’ve travelled through over 38 countries together in a two-year period,” he began. Wanting to begin The Songbook So Far tour as a fresh start to highlight the chapters of Calum’s career, Baines began by designing and programming the show at the Spiralstagelighting studio alongside Lighting Operator, Olly Walker and Systems Technician, Lucas White.
