Review Centre: Sound Engineers

"Chris provided sound equipment and excellent technical support for our village music festival in July 2017. He was professional and knowledgeable and his sound equipment ensured the sound quality was of a high standard throughout the event. I would not hesitate to recommend his services. "

"Chris responded at pretty short notice (6 days) to a request to provide sound for a gig at The Lescar in Sheffield. He was providing sound for a pretty challenging headline act - Il Sogno Del Marinaio - whose bass guitarist (Mike Watt) was recently in Iggy Pop & The Stooges and perhaps more famously early '80s US hardcore band Minutemen. Chris did a superb job for them, giving them what they wanted in terms of set-up, overcoming some technical issues & really impressing with sound on the night. Likewise the support (Dave Woodcock) were able to set up quickly and their acoustic set sounded superb. The whole night went smoothly and the audience loved it; Chris played a huge part in that. Highly recommend."

"Can't recommend these guys highly enough. I used them for a wedding and James was so helpful in every aspect. Helpful, professional and most importantly - great sound!"

"We hired a PA system and disco lighting for our wedding reception and we couldn't have been happier with the service: the quality of the equipment was excellent, operating it was extremely easy and intuitive, the value for money was excellent and, most of all, the customer service from Chris and his colleagues in the run-up and on the day were absolutely fantastic (as per many other reviews). Would strongly recommend. Thank you to Chris, Steve and all who helped out at Core."

"I cannot speak highly enough of Chris and his team, I hired a full DJ kit including 'proper' decks for vinyl , the price was extremely competitive, the service was first class and given by people that truly care. Core Event Hire will always get any repeat business from me and I will be recommending them to anyone else. I Can't thank them enough!"

"From the very beginning James was both helpful and knowledgeable and came up with a sound and lighting package that was both appropriate to our needs and competitively priced. We would have no hesitation in contacting Basement Hire for any future sound or lighting requirements and would highly recommend them."

"Keith provided and ran the PA for our Carol Service live in Islington Green. He provided the PA gear, the Keyboard and the means to connect the Keyboard and Acoustic Guitar. He also enabled me to lead the service with a mic. He also sorted out the PA gear donated to our church."

"Chris has just repaired a 50-year old AKG D12 microphone for me. He told me all the (very reasonable) costs up front, didn't charge a penny more when it turned out to be a more complex job than he'd quoted for, explained exactly what was wrong with it (with photographs), gave me tips on how to better care for it in the future, and even provided a before and after frequency response chart so I could see what was going on. I couldn't be more pleased. And to top it all off, what a lovely bloke. Couldn't recommend him more. Cheers again mate. Simon"

"We just wanted to drop you a quick message to say thank you so much for Saturday. It was SO MUCH FUN having you there, the songs you picked were so great and everyone was having such a great time dancing. Everyone was running up to me saying “I picked this song!” Haha. You absolutely made Samuel’s night by ending on The Rock Show, he’s not much of a dancer but he danced to that!"

"I booked Darren for a 50th birthday party. It was a brilliant night, there were a mix of age groups so Darren played a great variety of songs from old to present day and he was happy to take any requests also. The quality of the sound was excellent and great atmosphere. I would definitely recommend."
