Not even Santa could deliver something this cool!

Even with so many shows cancelled due to the unprecedented weather conditions lately, we still managed to get our brand new DiGiCo SD9 out on a few gigs before we wrapped up for Christmas. Words can’t describe it – so here is a few thousand words (aka pictures) of it doing it’s biz! We just [...]

Summer festivals end with some sun!

Sunday the 12th of September meant an early start for the AMP Sound Systems crew! Just off from a late night at Darver Festival, we were in Phibsborough in Dublin for Phizzfest.

The life saver that is "Studio Manager"

Yamaha’s studio manager has saved my bacon a few times at gigs. Most of our work can only be done once we reach the venue. Yes, it is possible to be organised and have all leads wrapped correctly and have a clear channel list made out, but thats about all you can do before you [...]

When an engineer gets bored…

Every so often, you get a gig which isn’t terribly entertaining. Maybe cos it aint your type of music, or is just too easy and not a challenge. Now, it doesn’t happen much I have to say, but when it does you have to find some way to keep yourself occupied – and the saving [...]

Bray Festival from monitor land!

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 [...]

Sun, skateboards, live music! Lovely day at the office!

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 [...]
