Chris was doing the sound at a festival where my band played. Set up and sound check were was made easy for us. The resulting sound quality was excellent.

Unbeatable. Chris intuitively gets what we’re after, and delivers it calmly and with real flare. Having him tech our events has been a game-changer!

Chris is a tech legend! Our group of adults with learning disabilities performed at a local festival and Chris was friendly, professional, and incredibly supportive throughout. He helped make our performance a great experience for performers and audience alike. Highly recommended!

Chris was incredibly friendly to all of the band members and provided us with in depth answers to any questions we had, The setup was quick, tidy and very quality you couldn’t fault it !! The live sound that Chris produced for us was amazing and the crowd gave a lot of feedback of this throughout the evening, every peice of gear was quality and Chris managed to work around the fact the venue had given us a stage that was very muddy due to the venue being a field on a very wet day, everything went smoothly and all our gear stayed dry, couldn’t have asked for anything else the whole experience was perfect. 5/5 Definitely recommend

Chris was absolutely amazing in the lead up to our wedding, on the day itself, and even during the pack down afterwards. He was thorough, professional, and so easy to communicate with throughout the whole process – we couldn’t have asked for anyone better to be in charge of all things sound on our wedding day. He went above and beyond, even liaising with our band beforehand and managing their sound expertly, which meant everything ran smoothly and sounded incredible. Chris also organised all of the sound for the speeches seamlessly, which took a huge weight off our minds and meant we could just enjoy the moment knowing everything was taken care of. We had the best time and would wholeheartedly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a sound engineer for their wedding or event.

Having worked with Chris at festivals and events a number of times, I cannot recommend him highly enough. Hugely professional on all levels, with a calm, diligent and well prepared response to any situation. Sonically, the end result is of an extremely high standard, no matter the genre, style or configuration of the band in question. It is always a delight to work with Chris and I look forward to the next opportunity!

What I Do

My specialisms are high quality sound hire, live music sound engineering, and speech PA for festivals, parties, conferences and wedding receptions. I also freelance across a wider stage tech spectrum. See the full list of services and the size of events I do.

How Much It Costs

I’ve listed example pricing, for transparency. I can give personalised, fixed-price quotes for most jobs.

My Service and Reputation

Friendly and professional. You can see my five-star Google reviews, and Facebook reviews (100% recommend), and read more about me.

My Sound, Video and Lighting Inventory

If you’re into that kind of thing, I publish a kit list of my sound equipment, lighting equipment and AV equipment. Although I’m a small operator, most of my kit meets or exceeds the quality of what larger PA companies will assign to events of the same size.

My Patch

I’m based near Exeter where the M5 and A30 intersect. I take sound engineering assignments across Devon and also Cornwall and Somerset, subject to viability.

What Else?

• I’ve amassed over 30 years working on live events.
• Considerate when working with performers and customers from outside the events industry.
• I have £5M of public liability insurance (PLI).
• Degree in electronic and communication engineering, Dante Level 1 certified.
