If you are seeking a Sound Engineer we can offer you:

• Experience

Tony Lloyd is our main Sound Engineer. With a career in the music industry spanning over 30 years, he first worked as a sound engineer in 1982, and has mixed literally hundreds of acts in many more hundreds of shows, taking in many venues on the way.

Other sound engineers currently include Nick Timberlake (in the last few years he has worked at several major events, including Glastonbury and the Glade, as well as on our own productions), Paul Bryant (who has considerable recording as well as live engineering experience), and Sam Muskett (who enjoys a very good reputation with our regular clients, including Dean Arts and Painswick Blues).

• Expertise

All sound engineers we use or recommend understand the "nuts & bolts" of a PA system (from microphone selection and placement to controller settings and loudspeaker positioning), as well the practicalities of creating a good mix in a difficult room. They know what needs to be plugged in where, and what to change if it needs changing. They can work quickly under time pressure without compromising the performance, leaving you free to enjoy the show, play the music, go to the bar, or do whatever you wish.

• Professionalism

We are professionals (that is, we make our living from this business), and treat our work and our clients accordingly. We like it when our clients say they have found our approach very professional, and most of them do.

We will be:

• On time

• Courteous

• Prepared

• Efficient

• Tidy

In other words we won't be late, rude, slapdash or clueless. We'll bring with us what any professional sound engineer should bring (headphones, PVC tape, Sharpies, blank channel lists, clipboard, toolkit and basic test equipment), and as far as humanly possible will leave everything as we found it when we depart (picking up cable ties, bits of gaffer or PVC tape, plastic coffee cups and anything else we have used as we go).

• Versatility

We have worked in small venues and large, indoors and outdoors, with a wide range of performers and styles. We have mixed everything from solo a cappella to raucous punk, from Chilean flutes to African drums. If you can produce it, we can mix it.

We have also worked on every kind of PA system from mini mixer-amp & two speakers to full-blown (40-channel+) concert systems, on every kind of desk from Budget Notepad to Midas Heritage. If you have a PA system and a venue or a band, we will help you get the best from it.
