Back with the Belgrave House Band performing Amy Winehouse’s Back To Black album at Junction. Providing PA and system tech, we also built the stage and provided lighting design and operation.

We don’t just do high-end audio production for music! One of our most popular hire systems is this battery-powered public address system with 2-channel radio receivers built into each speaker.

These systems are ideal for outdoor public address where mains power is unavailable, such as school sports days, summer fêtes and other community events such as Goole and District RSPCA Fun Dog Show at West Park in Goole (one of our favourite venues on a sunny day!)

We can supply two radio mics (these will transmit to all speakers) or we can swap in a minijack transmitter that will enable you to plug in a portable music player and transmit to all speakers without the need for any cables!

Systems available to hire from one to five speakers. Contact Chris via Messenger, [email protected] or 07974 565014 for more details.

Our battery powered multi speaker PA system at yesterday’s Remembrance Service at the cenotaph in Goole.

We remember those who gave their lives, and the countless innocent drawn into conflicts without their consent throughout history.

Finally managed to remember (and have time!) to take photos at a show!

This was The Quintinary - Sid's "Famous Events" festival at Junction Goole. One of my home venues - it was great to get to put our big JBL rig in that room. It sounded GREAT - we had so many compliments about the audio quality from both audience and band members.

Really happy with how it looked too - we’ve bought a scaffold goalpost and some moving heads this summer so it was lovely to get those into an environment where we could see them at their best! Nice to be able to use the venue rig to fill in front and top light too!

Always a pleasure to work with Ukulaylay. In this session we worked on one of her songs, developed the melody and structure and then recorded the framework ready to add further instrumental and vocal layers. Our producer Chris is also an accomplished musician and co-writer so he loves these kind of sessions!

Had the best time recording with Strange Reality Music Productions today. Always fab getting together. Session one done ✔️.

New single coming soon - Soul Away Memory. Coming together nicley.

Great session yesterday with the wonderful ShedJam! Six-piece band recorded live all in the same room - it can be done! Sounding amazing!

21/05/2023

Battery powered PA system in West Park Goole today for RoguePlay’s “Forests” physical theatre performance as part of Takeover Festival. Always nice when it’s a dry sunny day for outdoor events!

Our battery systems are ideal for simple public address and/or music playback in situations where it’s impractical or impossible to run from mains power. Perfect for public address at school sports days, theatre in the park, background music at markets etc. Up to four speakers can be linked with cable, or can be completely wireless with the built-in radio mic receivers.

Message or call for availability and pricing if you have an event which would benefit from this system.

Great day out at The Crown in Hemingbrough providing sound system and engineers for their event. Excellent work from all the artists: Claire Coupland, The Word, YouVee, Starbound Hearts and Offbeat - plus our wonderful engineer Jake Hepworth.

Audio systems and engineers available for all occasions- from small battery powered systems up to our 5k JBL/Crown rig with Soundcraft digital console and up to 10 monitor mixes. Message for details and a competitive quote.

Great tune by the wonderful Sandra's Wedding, recorded and mixed here at the Strange Reality Music studio. Lovely video too…

Our latest release is the hotly-anticipated debut single from this stunning bunch. We're hoping and expecting to be really busy working with Offbeat Band this year (we've already got two more singles pretty much ready to go!), so please check out "The Hottest Love" and if you like it, download and share this post!

Although the song is available to stream on Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer etc and can be downloaded from iTunes, Amazon MP3, Google Play and many more, the BEST way to support the band (and help them to finance more studio time with us!) is to purchase the song on Bandcamp: https://offbeatuk.bandcamp.com/track/the-hottest-love

You can pay £1, or you can make a bigger donation to help support these wonderful young performers. EVEN BETTER, if you buy it this Friday (3rd February) Bandcamp will waive their share of the proceeds, which means that around 15% more goes to the artist.

Spread the word and share the (hottest) love!

🎉🎉 The Hottest love is now available to stream on Amazon Music, Deezer, ITunes, YouTube, BandCamp and even Tik Tok. So go check it out and have a listen. We are all so happy with our release. So stay tuned as there is more on its way !!!!

Last session of the year yesterday- a lovely “as live” recording with the folk fab four Firefly 'N The Fiddle. Thirteen tunes finished in a day - no mean feat!

2022 has been a very busy year for us with live events, but we’re really hoping to bring more studio work through in 2023. We’ve installed a brand new recording system with amazing Antelope Audio converters, so our recordings are sounding even better than before! Message to discuss your project!

25/11/2022

Back at Selby Town Hall again tonight as system tech (sound) and lighting tech with the wonderful Dervish.

24/11/2022

Thursday night blues and soul - great grooves and vibes from Jimmy Carpenter the soul doctor at Selby Town Hall. I’m on sound and lighting for this one.

17/10/2022

Yesterday’s office. Feels great to be playing on projects again - Avid Control iPad remote makes it much easier to play and record drums! Also laid down a bass track as well as tambourine and shakers. Loving the new Apple Mac Studio M1 Max/Antelope Audio Orion 32+ setup!

If you have a project that requires additional instrumentation, I’m a competent bass player, drummer, percussionist and keyboard player. Thanks to studio technology, I can also make it sound like I’m a half decent guitarist too! Contact me to discuss your project!
