Want free Electric Picnic tickets?

That was kinda a silly question, wasn’t it? Of course everyone wants something for free, let alone FREE Electric Picnic tickets! So we are gonna run a little competition! We happen to have a few too many tickets for Electric Picnic, and we would love you to have a pair!

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 [...]

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 [...]

Mixing on an analogue desk for charity!

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!

AMP Sound Systems provides the bass for Sailfest!

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 [...]

Now thats my kinda gig!

You may have noticed from the blog posts so far that I generally get more excited about the “different” gigs! This one was certainly different! It was only a school’s graduation mass. But it was in an Olympic sizes basketball court, and there was a choir and a small band to work around! The place came also [...]

Lets get this show on the road!

So I suppose this is what y’all came for – the life of an engineer! Well then lets get this show on the road!
