The 2010 All Ireland Senior Ladies Champions returned to Na Fianna on Friday night to be greeted by over 1,000 people and a sound system supplied by AMP Sound Systems. An amazing evening was presented by Na Fianna GAA Club to welcome the girls home. The Dublin team arrived in an open top bus to [...]
Will that Midas desk really make your band sound better? Surely that Klark Teknik graphic cant make a whole lot of difference? Pay €100,000 for a PA or €10,000? All the above questions are questions that I have asked myself before – other than the band bit, so in my case my client’s band. I [...]
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. AMP Sound Systems was subhired by The Sound & Music Co. to provide sound equipment and staff to the event. The gig consisted of [...]
It may have been pouring rain on Saturday, but that did not stop us rigging a D&B line array and amplifying some great bands! Darver Intercultural Festival in Co. Louth brought acts and punters from all over the world to display their culture, crafts and music! Acts from Africa, Lithuania, Ireland and many more performed [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
