We're still trying to track down this guitar that was stolen from our premises a few weeks ago.

The guitar belongs to a good friend and we are looking to get it back as the guitar is very sentimental to him.

We know it appeared yesterday in the Cash Generator on the precinct in Bolton town centre but has been sold before we got chance to go in and have it taken off sale.

Please can everyone share this post so we can hopefully find who has purchased the guitar. At this point we will gladly sort the money that has been paid to get it back.

Great review of last weeks show I will take the stadium style sound of the support act as a win

Branded as a homecoming show, local residents Phil Cunningham and Tom Chapman of Sea Fever (and New Order) are joined by New Order’s Stephen Morris and Gillian Gilbert to deliver a warm-up DJ set.

What a gig last night was great do at the Cinemac Cinema

Amazing crowd that were vibing from start to finish ✅
Members of New Order DJ'ing ✅
Band smashing it out of the park, flawless performance ✅
And i don't think the sound was too bad either✅

That was pretty special last night, wasn't it! A huge thanks to Cinemac Cinema for your hospitality, Stephen and Gillian Morris & Joel Gardner for being brilliant and to everyone who came and made it a great night, like you always do. So much more to come 😎😎

Well it's been a quiet weekend here with a cancelation and a fact finding / research mission (I went to watch Tool play in manchester) so not much to report except we are well under way building and improving our offerings

we are looking to get a new all singing all dancing front of house system but obviously that costs mega bucks

We do have a go fund me for this,

If you are in a band or are part of a venue and you decided to donate we will discount whatever you donate from future gigs we work with you
if you are just someone who loves going to gigs any production tickets we get for events will be shared out to you guys

We will obviously put on an event for everyone that has donated

Well Rockstock what a weekend that was mud, drizzle and rain, but that didn't dampen your spirits at all crowds were up for it for every band, hanger was full all day long (nothing to do with the rain I am sure)
Every band smashed it out of the park and was nice to welcome back Green Days to the fold (see vid below) with their high energy sett from sunday,

now off to hose down all the equipment (and Crew) to get the mud off in time for Rockprest at the end of the month

New toys time

With festival season right around the corner we are in full prep mode

This is our new drum fill HH Electronics top Electro-Voice sub in testing and passing with flying colours

We thought our old passive wedges were getting a bit battered and not quite where we want them to be we where we are aiming to be although they have served us well and will no doubt be used on other jobs here and there

Over the next month or so we will aiming to have 8 of them but for now we have 2 and 2 more coming next week so at least the singer and the drummer will be able to take full advantage of the improved sound

07/05/2024

We are still taking end of year bookings and why not book us for next year

New toys time on the lighting front

2 brand spanking new Equinox - UK fusion spot 150’s
Great for slightly larger venues to either be used as spots or great for beaming out into the crowd

Big plans afoot on the lighting side this yeah

Sizing photo is in relation to the Equinox Fusion 100 Spot mk2 (one in the middle) which we have been using to great effect for the past year

All our lighting is from the Equinox brand they provide amazing bang for your buck

If you want our lights on your event get in touch

We are into a new year now and looking to build up what we have and be even better than we already are

We are looking to festival season and beyond taking bookings

We can offer

-Full PA hire with engineers

-Lighting hire with tech to operate

-smaller monitor packages to aid venues that already have a decent PA system but don't necessarily have any or adequate monitoring

When you book us with one of our own mixing desks we can multi track record your event so you can have a keepsake or use in conjunction with a seperate videographer to produce a great sounding video for yourselves or promotional material (we can also mix it for you if required)

Just an engineer to come out with you to create and maintain a consistent sound between venues for yourselves and the crowd

We work regularly in theaters upto around 400-500 capacity working with premium touring tribute bands and original artists alike

Get in touch with your needs and we will be able to tailor a system to suit your needs and make your event sound and look the best it can be

Call us on 07792564143

Unfortunately at this time we do not do "dry Hire" (hiring equipment without one of our team being on site)

25/12/2023

Well it’s Christmas and we just want to take the time to wish all the bands, venues, festivals and of course all the people that attended any of the the events that we worked on
a very happy Xmas and a hope to see you all again in the new year
We are already planning how to make our events bigger and better and hope to work with some more of you over the coming weeks and months
