FX Rentals helps RAK honour Mickie Most at Blue Plaque ceremony
FX Rentals helped out at a Heritage Foundation event to honour legendary producer Mickie Most, who passed away last year from a rare form of cancer.
The event celebrated the unveiling of a blue plaque outside RAK recording studios, the former North London Victorian schoolhouse and church hall which Most took over in 1976 and converted into a state-of-the-art recording studio complex with full residential facilities.
FX provided a small Mackie PA system for the unveiling of the plaque by Most's widow Christina, who was accompanied by the couple's daughters Cristalle and Nathalie. The day’s proceedings were hosted by the Foundation's 2004 president Anita Harris. After the unveiling, celebrity guests including Bill Wyman, Kim Wilde and Mick Hucknall adjourned to a charity lunch at the Grosvenor House Hotel, Park Lane in aid of the Cancer Treatment and Research Trust.
"This is a wonderful recognition of the contribution which Mickie made to British music over the years, and we are very honoured to have the plaque grace the front of our building," said RAK studio manager Trisha Wegg.
The Heritage Foundation puts up blue plaques in tribute to the greats of entertainment to raise funds for a variety of good causes through its Arts and Entertainment Charitable Trust.
