A Sussex firm helped the Reading Festival avoid embarrassment at the weekend when it recreated the festival's webcasting service just hours before the first acts played.
Music fans across the world were able to watch Oasis, Beck and the Stereophonics performing live after Lightmaker Internet Publishing Services (LIPS) created a new webcasting site for the festival in 48 hours.
The Wadhurst firm was asked to create webpages to webcast bands' performances on Tuesday night and the site was live by Thursday.
The last-minute work was vital to spare red faces among Reading Festival promoters Mean Fiddler, who had heavily promoted the webcast in the U.S.
LIPS general manager George Anger said: "I've been locking the designers and technical people in until four in the morning."
