I luckily managed to clear a day off for myself in between all the other festival bookings – just enough time to nip out to Knockanstockan Festival in Co. Wicklow to mix one of my favourite bands to work with – The Eskies!

Friday of the Bray Festival 2010 was a bit of fun when I hopped into monitor land and mixed wedges on the bandstand for a couple of acts!
I replaced the audio on this video, as I have not yet got permission from the bands to use it, but the video should give you a quick overview of the buzz at the festival this year.
Monitors were D&B Max 12′s and the console was the Yamaha M7CL.

I had never heard about the “Kings of Concrete Festival” before. Maybe because I have never been interested in skateboarding. But the second I walked in the gate, I knew this was going to be a good gig! There was a great atmosphere, and it was a completely family friendly event.
The rig consisted of a Funktion One PA for FoH, a M7CL-32 at mix, and EV sxA250′s for wedges.
View the video below to see the place from our perspective!

I’m sure you underestimate the amount of work that goes on before you arrive at a show. Rather than write any more about it, I will attempt to show you this 20 hour day at the office using only pictures. I have taken the exact time stamp from the images to guide you through the day.
Enjoy! And don’t forget to click the Share button below if you know others who underestimate the work involved!!
On the 5th of May 2010, AMP Sound Systems was booked to provide the PA system and crew for a show by the Dublin Glee Choir in The Bank, Newry. I knew this would be a great gig, so decided to engineer it myself. My day went like this:

This time 2 years ago, I presumed that I would be mixing the gig on an analogue desk. How things have changed! Up to last week, I had not mixed on an analogue desk in nearly 8 months. That stint came to an end on Saturday – for charity!

Luan Parle on Stage
The stage outside Wicklow Gaol rocked the town with the help of 4 subs from AMP Sound Systems. Luan Parle played a beautiful set as expected. Was thoroughly proud that our equipment shared a stage with Luan once again. An array of D&B Q1′s from Acostik completed the rig.
The sun kept shining and made for a magical day!

Just received the first draft of the new logo from the designer. Would love you to take a look and let me know what you think. I have already asked for “Sound Systems” to me made more prominent, but other that give me constructive criticism on everything else! Leave comments below!
Thanks

Colm Mac Con Iompaire of The Frames
Violin and vocalist with The Frames, Colm Mac Con Iompaire got married this weekend – and AMP Sound Systems was there to provide the PA system. The music played until 2.40AM when things calmed down into an acoustic session. Notable guests included Glen and the rest of The Frames, Mundy and many others. The PA performed flawlessly and everyone had an amazing night.
Congratulations Colm, and we all wish you the very best in the future.
