Accomplished 30 year old sound engineer based in Wakefield looking for regular work. High end PA kit capable of playing 95% of venues. I have worked alongside bands for the past 10 years but the previous band disbanded when COVID hit and I’m looking for a new challenge.
Flexible, hardworking and committed, I have no problems travelling and working every weekend / late nights.
Available for one offs where a bigger PA system is needed but would really like to get involved with a regular project. I’ve worked with agents and various function / party bands. For the 9-5 I’m a highly motivated business developer and this crosses over into my hobbies. If the vibe is right I have no problem starting with a talented set of musicians and pushing the band forwards from a clean slate (or band that's been rehearsing but not really sure where to go from there) and can develop the band and get the gigs.
As a permanant gig I wouldn’t be looking for anything heavy metal and would have a preference on function / party / wedding bands. I have previously worked as a party DJ and can provide music between sets where necessary although my real passion is sound hence the preference on working with bands.
I'm really looking for like minded individuals that are looking to fill the calendar with gigs and develop a band to a high standard capable of going out for top paying gigs. I'd also be interested in casual work with established bands that just require a large PA system / tech for bigger gigs. Money isn't the driving factor (typically take an even share e.g. 4 musicians + me = I take 1/5th) I just love music and development and want to get back out there.
Equipment used:
Full HK Audio Linear 5 Big Room kit.
QSC KII monitors * 2
Soundcraft Ui24R wireless mixer. Fantastic rig with full pro EQ / gate / compression on every channel.
Sure wireless mics + wireless headset for lead singer.
2*chauvet gig bars w/ DMX control for normal gigs. Floods available for bigger gigs.
Assorted mics for rest of band. Full drum mic kit.
The mixer enables me to record every channel dry and produce a recording of the gig. Good selling point for weddings etc.
Equipment can be changed around to suit if the working relationship is right.
