It's not always possible to get shots of the work we do. Here are a selection of photos from the past 9 months or so. More will be added soon.
By the way, the photograph which forms the "masthead" of this website was shot in January 2005 by your's truly from a hill called Drumabheag which overlooks Moycullen village, Co. Galway. This one is looking south over the bogland which lies between Spiddal and Moycullen.

Mairtin O'Connor, Cathal Hayden et al at the Radisson in aid of the tsunami disaster fund. Over 10 acts, also including Sharon Shannon, Nolliag Casey, Arty McGlynn and Frankie Gavin played to over a 1000 people. Performers and technicians all donated their services in aid of the charity. The concert was later aired on TG4 and the event eventually raised over €250,000. This photo had to be drastically enhanced - having mixed 10 acts, the last thing I was thinking off was the photo!
Mundy and Dessie O'Halloran, Inishbofin Arts Festival 2005.
We've been supplying the PA to this small annual festival since 2000. Despite the remote location, it attracts some of Ireland's finest musicians including, over the years, The Walls, Don Baker, Sean Tyrell, De Dannan, Sharon Shannon, Eleanor Shanley and this year Mundy. Here he is dueting with local legend Dessie O'Halloran.
We've been supplying PA and technicians to Macnas since 2000. Here are some shots from this year's Parade, as part of the Galway Arts Festival. We had PA on four of the floats, two of which used high grade truck batteries with 2.5kW inverter packs. The others had small 5kW diesel generators which were pulled behind. One of the floats (above centre photo) had a 4 piece band on it. This was pushed along the route by ten "pushers". The PA was built into the float. This year we also used a selection of HK Audio systems supplied by FNR Audio . These photos were taken by Sean McCormack
More photos will be added over time. Meanwhile, for excellent photos from Galway's live music scene as well as shots of the city and its surroundings, check out Sean McCormack's www.randompanderings.com
