“The roar of the greasepaint, the smell of the crowd”

Live Concerts

Over the years, we’ve worked with every style of music and every type of artist. Country, Bluegrass, Cajun, Rock, Grunge, Garage, Techno, Classical, Irish traditional, Folk, Brass Band, Reggae, Ska and Pop. All different sounds but we take the same attitude.

Live you’ve only got one chance. Not only do we swear by established, industry standard manufacturers, but all the equipment we send out on live gigs is rigorously tested and maintained for safety and reliability. And above all it has to sound good. Every night. From the sound check to the band going off-stage.

...Always Listening.

We are consistently investing in new technology to improve the live experience for bands and audiences alike. Over the years, I have invested personally in innovative new PA systems by Nexo. Our current flagship system, the Nexo GEO S12, is a culmination of Nexo’s extensive research and development and means that every size of concert and every type of act can benefit from the sound of the S12 system.

We are the only PA hire company in the Republic of Ireland currently stocking Digidesign’s Venue SC48. The SC48 is unique in that it combines the sound of an analogue console with the power of digital processing. It can also record up to 18 fully-assignable tracks off the board via Firewire and supports both Digidesign and third-party plug-ins. It is quick and intuitive to learn and use with a fully customizable surface that can be edited offline using Digidesign’s D-Show Software.

We are one of the few companies in Ireland to stock the SSE Audio designed and manufactured MB4 stage monitor. A familiar feature on festival stages throughout the UK and Ireland every summer, the MB4 is a fully active bi-amped 1000w (RMS) monitor requiring little or no EQ and high SPL - the main requirement for a high performance stage monitor.

Added to our industry standard stock of microphones, cable and outboard equipment, these investments copper-fasten our commitment to guaranteeing the continued quality of live sound in the west of Ireland.


Our People

Our equipment would be nothing without the crew to prep, transport, rig and operate our systems on live shows. Every single employee and freelance sound technician has been personally selected by me for their ability, professionalism and commitment to the quality of our events.
