"I approached JN Audio to supply my band's album launch night with their Martin Audio PA System, full drum mics, vocal mics, monitors and lighting. Jake was very quick to email a response back with a very reasonably priced quote, compared to many other companies I had previously approached with the exact same list of requirements. We went ahead and I have to say I'm so glad I did. Their equipment and microphones were to the highest of standards, using some of the best Sennheiser and shure mics for our instruments.. their Audio system sounded incredible, it had some serious volume and punch which is exactly what I was after for this gig- just like you get in an arena. The guys did a great job of mixing sound for the night and sorting out everyone's individual sound needs. I will be using JN Audio again in the future for sure."

"We’ve just got back off our honeymoon in Cuba and want to thank you again for our wedding disco. What a night! It was everything we’d hoped for and topped off an amazing day. So many of our guests said how good you were, what a good mix of music, and what a special night it was. So many good memories. People have been asking for your contact information which of course we’ve given them. Many thanks again!"

"We couldn't be happier that Paul was the DJ for our wedding. From the moment of first contact to the final song of the night, Paul was enthusiastic, engaged and truly cared about getting it right for us. In the run up he scheduled a call to get to know us and hear our ideas. He patiently took our extensive song list and turned it into a setlist that made sense, blending our choices with other songs he knew would work. His transitions between tracks were great and really got the crowd going. Our dream scenario for the wedding was to have a dance floor that was buzzing and rammed - and that was exactly what we got thanks to Paul's hard work. We also noticed small things, for instance we had two songs Rhi really wanted to hear and he didn't play them until we were definitely both on the dance floor. He read the energy in the room and matched the vibe with his song choices. One of the best moments of our night was looking around at the final song and seeing how many people were there with us and having a fantastic time. We got many compliments for the quality of the DJ! If you're reading this don't hesitate to book Paul. We would recommend him to anyone!"

"We recently got hitched in the UK and a few of the attending guests and I play in band(s) together. We thought it would be nice to extend the wedding weekend and have a day of live music the day after the wedding. As most of the band live and work overseas, transporting our own PA equipment wasn't feasible so we looked into hiring some gear for the day. Grimshaw Audio was recommended by a friend who works in the music business so I contacted Chris through the website and he quickly replied to confirm he was available and offered some great advice on the equipment we required. He also offered to set up and manage all the technical stuff throughout the day so we didn't need to worry about levels, settings etc. The price seemed very reasonable so we progressed with the booking. Following a phone conversation to firm up the details, it was clear that Chris is extremely knowledgeable about about his work and service; Grimshaw Audio was obviously a passionate hobby as well as a professional business. We were scheduled to start the first set at around 3:00pm on the Sunday; Chris and his colleague arrived at 10:00am to set up! The kit they work with is amazing. The speakers are hand crafted by Chris so he literally knows them inside out. Backed up by a remote tablet mixer, he can stroll the venue and and adjust the levels accordingly via a Bluetooth connection (I guess?). We're an amateur band so having a sound engineer and a quality PA set up was a real novelty for us; despite all our rusty mistakes we've never sounded so clear and bright (in our opinion). All the vocals and instruments, (percussion, bass, keys, guitar) were fed through the same PA so Chris was also able to provide us with a full recording on a USB stick. All in all, I can't recommend this guy enough. A young business with a bright future for sure. I just wish he lived in the Middle East so we could hire him for every gig! "

"We booked Core Events for our wedding this month and can’t recommend them enough. The quality of the sound and lighting equipment was great, and the team went above and beyond to ensure everything was set up smoothly. Huge thanks to Chris and the team."

"James was fantastic in fulfilling all our needs and going above and beyond in making sure we had what we needed. He was in contact throughtout the hire period and the equipment was in perfect condition and all done at a competative cost. We will be using again!"

"Hired a silver service, which included drop off, set up and collection. The team were very helpful and easy to contact, from start to finish. Simple karaoke kit, with easy-to-use screen, heaps of song choice, big speaker and 2 microphones. Would definitely hire from these guys again."

"We booked Chris to provide equipment and manage all the sound for our Great Yorkshire Chorus Christmas choir concert. This was a big event with a choir of over 100 people and a large audience, he did a fantastic job for us. Leading up to the event we had regular contact with Chris, he made sure that everything was well organised and met what we needed on the day. On the day itself set up was all smooth and we had a great soundcheck with the choir where Chris got all the levels set just right so the choir could hear things well and there was a good balance for the audience. Chris also recorded the concert for us which was brilliant so we have that to keep and use in future. The recordings are excellent quality and he put a lot of work in post production for us to get them sounding spot on. Chris is very professional and easy to work with, which is hugely valuable to anyone running a large event who needs someone experienced and reliable. We'll definitely use Chris again and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him."

"Chris knows his stuff, is a great guy, and will go the extra mile. We were a 5-piece rock band playing WMC's and needed a sound engineer - Chris not only did the engineering but also provided extra mics and equipment where he saw fit. We could play with confidence knowing the sound out front was spot on. Can't recommend him enough."
