During the years 1974 and 1975, Walley was employed by Scope International Equipment Hire to construct and operate on the road its three Genie stage lighting rigs, effectively making him a stage lighting electrician, rigger and lighting designer. In other words, an all-round roadie. During this time, he toured with various bands and operated as Lighting Designer for Barclay James Harvest, Caravan, and other acts. Thanks to his habit of turning up at venues and carefully monitoring the electricity supply available with his trusty Model 8 AVOMETER (AVO in this case standing for Amps, Volts, and Ohms) he soon earned the nickname AVO himself.
