Graham Starkie provided the PA rig and sound mixing for the outdoor stage for the 2016 Witchley Warren Festival in Ketton, Rutland. This involved supplying and setting up a full 8K rig and monitors and line checking and mixing five live bands, each with very different requirements (folk, rock, latin and ska). I can thoroughly recommend the service he offered. The equipment was all set up on time and the sound throughout the event was excellent. Graham was very responsive to the needs of the event organisers and those of the musicians. He also provides this quality of service at a very competitive price.

“Graham supplied technical support, equipment, installation and advice for our recent production of ‘The Sound of Music’. We had in the past had many issues with audibility, feedback, equipment malfunctioning/inappropriate mics for the setting etc, but Graham spent a good deal of time checking out the acoustics and size of the venue, the existing infrastructure and our specific needs, before sourcing and installing our stage mic setup. He then attended a technical rehearsal to check all was working and to train our very young sound engineers and their adult. We had never used such a system before, but the whole set-up worked brilliantly and many people commented on how much of an improvement the sound was on previous years! Graham did a great job and I would recommend him.”
Miriam Forbes, director of music at Witham Hall [email protected]

Jay Goldmark, goldmarkart [email protected] Quotes from Gainsborough FOAOTMAD festival

“Great working with you. Certainly all the feedback I had was beyond positive.”

“it is great to see so many good comments from our members, both on Facebook and on our feed-back forms, on how good the sound was in the concert room. Your professional approach has been praised by all the performers, especially our guests from the USA, and I would like to thank you on behalf of Foaotmad.”

‘Great on the sound. Massively appreciated’
