PA for School Fete Balham

 Sound system Hire at Balham School 8th June 2013

An outdoor fete requiring an outdoor sound system to reach all parts of the meandering playgrounds!
We used 6 speakers and placed them strategically all over the playground ,clambering up ladders to hide the speaker leads behind gutters and drainpipes to make sure that there were no cables running across the ground.
Crown amps driving EV speakers Wireless microphones and a connecting lead so an iPod could be played thru the sound system was what we provided
It was a breezy but sunny day so the set up was painless and straightforward

PA Hire Outdoor Rally (Heathrow Expansion)

PA System Hire (Boris Johnson used our microphone!) 27th April 2013

2500 persons attended this cross party anti-expansion of Heathrow airport rally at Barns Elm playing fields  next to the Wetland Nature reserve in South West London. The rally was largely organized by Zak Goldsmith ,the Tory MP for Richmond
We had to use a silent generator to power the sound system - Using our normal outdoor set up as follows: 8 x EV SX 300 speakers powered by Crown amps, Shure SM58 radio mic system and a Pioneer Desk .
Myself and son Barney took about an hour to set up . The speech deliverers were to be on on a small stand next to the Athletic track. We were situated by the stands side
Gyles Brandraft was hosting the event and what a charming funny fellow he is. Doing  a fantastic warm up to the London Mayor Boris Johnson's eagerly awaited slot. Worth waiting for? Yes he was good despite the fact that his arguments could be seen as a tad hypocritical!
Most West London boroughs were represented by their local MPs who had according to Gyles 'Just one minute' to deliver their speeches. The morning went quickly and one of my abiding memories will be of the 'Paparazzi' treatment of the prime minster in waiting. Boris Johnson

Street Dance Eastbourne

5th July 2012 Eastbourne Town Centre

'Education First',  a foreign Language organisation were holding an event outside the Arndale shopping centre in the pedestrianised area of Eastbourne. The event was designed to cock a snoot at their German based rival organisation.
We delivered a Battery powered PA system for the event simply linking two speakers with an iPod playing one David Guetta dance tune which 300 hundred foreign students danced to simultaneously. Sven the organiser was nervous (understanably so) Having to organise 300 students to dance to one tune at 12.30p.m on the dot takes a lot of doing plus he had not got permission from the local council to do it!. The hired sound system worked a treat, the sun was out. i ate in the local "Jimmy Witherspoons" and enjoyed visiting Eastbourne

DJ equipment HIre Caterham Surrey

30th June 2012 Sound system Hire Caterham

The Fuller's pub King & Queen in the High Street Caterham Surrey were holding a fun day for "Help for Heroes" and needed a sound system for announcements and music.
We hired 2 speakers  and a basic CD set up including an Allen & Heath mixer and 2 Numark NDX400 CD players with of course a microphone. After all that the stand in DJ was mainly using iPods. Lindsay the manager was busy getting the bouncy castle - the hog roast and a few other attractions ready for the day
It was meant to be between 12.00-6.00p.m but went on well after 8.00p.m.

Outdoor PA Jubilee Event Northwood

Outdoor PA June 2nd at Northwood F.C.

Up and nice and early arriving at Northwood F.C in Herts at 8.30a.m. This was a large outdoor PA system that we hired to a group organising a big fun Day for the local community.
We used a Mackie mixing desk that was brand new ( took a little getting used to !) 4 FOH speakers with a supplementary 800 watt sub bass and amplification. Two Mackie SRM450 stage monitors and two zoned speakers for a second arena  that was about 20 metres away form the main arena where the stage had been set up. Six SM58 microphones on stands that were ostensibly going to be used for a choir  and lastly two radio microphones. We sound checked and left the organisers happy with the  system running. The weather largely held out for the day and all the acts etc were warmly appreciated. by the spectators and there were no hitches with the equipment. Luckily Tim (organiser) and his colleague were previously lighting engineers and were able to operate the sound equipment satisfactorily.
