31st Galway Arts Festival 14 - 27 July 2008
Once again Alex Fernie Audio Ltd shared the sound reinforcement for the Galway Arts Festival with Dublin company Litton Lane. With the new "Big Top", it was one of our busiest festivals of recent years. The following is a list of the shows for which we provided PA and crews
Theatre/Dance: Circa (Big Top); Giselle (Black Box); Druid (Druid Theatre); Bank of Ireland Theatre (NUIG Campus)
Music: Richard Hawley (Radisson); Philip Glass (St. Nicholas's Church); Preservation Hall Jazz Band (Big Top); Omara Portiondo (Big Top, co-supplier with Litton Lane); Lunasa (Radisson); Maigh Seola (St. Nicholas' Church)
Comedy/Other: Des Bishop (Radisson); Readings (Hotel Meyrick) Multimedia Visual Arts (Box Office).
Our new Nexo GEO S12 system was used extensively for the acoustically challenging environments of St. Nicholas' Collegiate Church and the infamous Radisson Ballroom. AlphaE with PS15's took care of the Big Top, whilst Nexo PS10's were used variously as smaller systems and as monitors
