As Debi Moen reports in her Aug. 2020 “Designer Watch” column, LD Ed Warren is ready to let the music play. He’s rebuilt the outdoor lighting rig at Dreamland Margate — the oldest surviving amusement park in the U.K. — for socially distant shows in August/September. And as house LD for London venue Lafayette (owned by Ben Lovett of Mumford & Sons), Warren’s preparing the space for live streaming performances this fall. He’s also creating DJ mixes for Margate Radio. The LD stays fueled with java and music from his reopened coffee bar/record shop called Cliffs, where he recently held a virtual in-store performance. His vinyl sales, by the way, have hit a happy high groove during the pandemic.
