Music in the Garden

Excellent Keith arrived at exactly the time he said he would. Unloaded and set up with absolutely no fuss. Dealt with 7 or 8 separate performances over the whole day. Sound reinforcement is never plain sailing when outside but Keith took it all in his stride and provided a great live sound for our event. There were many compliments regarding the live music and that’s not possible without a good sound. I’ve already booked Keith for the same event next year (10 / 10) Danny Decourtelle

Book & Music Launch

"Working with Sherlock's Sounds for our February 23rd event was an absolute pleasure. Their professionalism and efficiency ensured seamless collaboration, resulting in a fantastic night for our Book and Music launch. From initial planning to execution, they were attentive to our needs, offering great partnership dynamics and ideas. On the day of the event, their skilled team delivered great sound quality, contributing greatly to its success. I highly recommend Sherlock's Sounds for their dedication and insight, and we eagerly anticipate future collaborations with them.” Christine Tucker

In July I provided PA for the Michael Toogood Thanksgiving Service. At the time I only had my SQ5 mixer and ZLX12P speakers so I used my other equipment currently used by Well Street United Church in Buckingham. This included the AB168 digital stage box and a DBX Driverack PA2 speaker management box. The acoustics of the Swiss Church in Endell Street, Covent Garden meant singing was excellent however the spoken word was only intelligible with the PA. 

October 23 - Homerton Baptist Church

 

 

In early October I provided PA for the Grace Baptist Association Annual Meeting. This was the first opportunity to use the AR2412 24 input and 12 output digital stage box. See the photo on the home page. The Cat 5 reel worked flawlessly and was sufficient to cover the double-sized room we were meeting in. It was also necessary to provide a basic PA system for the hour-long AGM held in a different room downstairs. For this, I used one of the SCM15A's on its end on a table with a small USB-powered mixer. I also provided a newly acquired Pulse short shotgun mic (phantom powered from the mixer) for the meeting chairman and another mic for other speakers. During the lunch break, I took down the system and re-used the SCM15A to provide monitoring for the keyboard player in the main meeting room. I ensured the two lectern mics were in a stereo group which I configured as a mono signal. This ensured the speaker's movements were not replicated by the system. This also meant I learned that stereo groups on the SQ5 are an odd/even pair. The desk was configured with Left and Right on AR2412 Output Channels 1&2, Foldback wedges on 3&4 and the EV EKX15SP Sub Woofer on Channel 5. Channel 6 was connected to the Keyboard's SCM15A foldback. The Bass guitar provided by Les Gridley was configured with the jack connected to a PRO DI, the through connected to a Bass amp and the XLR connected to the mixer via the AR2412 box. The electro-acoustic guitar was connected with the PRO48 DI. Two singers had BETA58 mics provided by the host church. I provided an AKG P4 mic for the violin. The church provided their own PA amp and speakers.

Sept - 23 Victory Services Club - Leadermagazine.eu

I was retained by leadermagazine.eu for their awards evening for leaders. I met with the in house sound and lighting team to talk through the system with them. Unfortunately the meeting was cancelled but no one thought to inform me so I made an unnecessary trip to the club where they told me the bad news.
