The Admiral Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Guys (and gals) Need some help finding a good live engineer with his/her own van and PA. Some USA based friends are looking at touring here in September - based mostly around the NW and for just 7 gigs in 10 days. 3 of the seven venues have house PA, and the engineer will be required to run the desk, whereas for the other 4 - it's a supply the PA and run it gig. Venues are mostly 100 - 150 capacity max pubs/clubs and the band is 2 guitars, bass and drums. Very simple set up - 4 man rock & roll band : guitar and bass off the backline, bass drum and snare mic'd, plus maybe an overhead or two, and guitar/bass cabs mic'd if the engneer fancies it, plus lead vox and BV's x 2 : hardly Glastonbury. The guy they used last time over can't do it - so they need a new engineer. It's effectively a 'man and van' gig, and as they will be based in Manchester, there will be only 2 overnights in hotels in the 10 days - so a NW based engineer who can go home every night would be ideal. The guys are all in their 40s - have major league experience, and this is just a quick 'holiday/hang out' tour. Very low maintainence guys and as funny as hell (they are from New York - you can imagine I'm sure). Anyone know a reliable, likely candidate?

BassBunny Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I have a mate who runs a PA Hire Company and is a terrific Sound Engineer. He also deps for one of my bands on guitar.
