"Charlie is without a doubt the best DJ I have ever worked with! As a wedding photographer, I know first hand how the dancefloor is a crucial part of the day, and a DJ can absolutely make or break this… Charlie knows exactly how to get the guests up and partying, what songs will work for the crowd that’s on the dancefloor, and how to keep the vibes going for the whole evening! I recently had the privilege of watching him work my best friends wedding & he was nothing short of amazing, you will not be disappointed if you book a CFR group DJ! 👌🏼"

"I recently got married at Dunston Hall and Charlie was the DJ. He was absolutely brilliant throughout the whole process, we spoke on the phone prior to my wedding and he gave me good advice about my song choices and how the music could flow during the event. The music was great on the night, he incorporated in all our choices and they were seamlessly mixed together. He also did a set with my sister who plays the sax and it was brilliant! I can't praise him enough, he really helped make my wedding extra special, thank you!"

"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."

"This was my first time using Chris and it was for a musical theatre production of 'Godspell' at the Hasland Theatre. Chris came recommended by a friend of mine (Adam Parrish) after he did the sound engineering for a concert Adam had recently done with Gordon Giltrap. Well what can I say - Chris did an amazing job! He came along for a preliminary meeting with me where we looked around the venue, talked about the requirements for the show which included a live 4 piece band and 10 wireless headset radio mics. Chris then gave a full explanation of what equipment he thought was required to make a great sound within the venue, how much time he would have to dedicate to the project and from that came up with a quote for us. We confirmed it all over email and then it was just a matter of waiting for show week to roll around. This came at the end of March and Chris arrived with all the equipment he needed and got set up ready to go. It was great that the equipment he had was all digital and took up a very small amount of space and that he was able to control it all from his iPad at the back of the theatre, since there was literally no room for him to be anywhere else. Several of the band members commented on how great it was that Chris asked them before every show about their individual monitor mixes, if anything needed changing, if Chris needed to be aware of any issues from previous nights etc and are still talking about it now as something like that which seems really obvious and simple makes a huge difference to those playing and performing. Nothing was too much trouble for Chris even when I had to ask for some additional monitors to be placed on the stage as the actors were struggling to hear the musicians he just turned up with speaker stands and monitors and got them plugged in and ready for the following nights performance. Amazing! It is also important to note Chris's attitude throughout the entire process. Putting on a musical is an exceedingly stressful thing to do and I was having to think about a lot of things throughout the run, but Chris remained calm, level-headed and had a very calming presence which was commented on by several cast members and others within the creative team, which is just what you want in a high stress environment. He was great to work with and lots of laughs were had throughout the week amongst the whole team who he worked well with. A very quick and speedy break down and get out on the Saturday night wrapped everything up nicely. Thanks so much for the time and effort you put into making our show sound amazing and we really cannot wait to be working with you again hopefully in the very near future."

"From the initial enquiry to returning the hired equipment the staff have been fantastic. We will certainly hire equipment for future productions in the knowledge that everything will run smoothly."

"I needed some gear at ultra short notice. They had it, they delivered it within two hours and I was using it less than two hours later. It is quality gear, with quality cables and hardware, supplied in quality flight cases. They provide ample back up cables as well. Very nice touch. The guys are all helpful and very nice to talk with. The prices are incredibly reasonable, too. If you're in the market, you could do a lot worse than giving BH Sound & Lighting Hire a call."
