Review Centre: Sound Engineers

"I can thoroughly recommend Awesome Audio DJ - just brilliant. Steve was fantastic throughout the process of our enquiry, booking and the night itself. Very responsive running up to our event which gave us full confidence in him. The disco kit was fabulous, set up quickly so he was ready to go practically from arrival. Steve was so polite and courteous; the music he played was just right for us and had everyone on the dance floor. Steve stayed and played until the last one standing left the dance floor which I really appreciated. Thanks so much Steve, you deserve to be fully booked up from the level of service you provide. Our very best wishes to you!"

"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 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."

"Steve DJ'd at our wedding and made it a truly memorable evening for all. From our initial conversations his expertise was apparent, providing prompt responses and proactively assisting us with our music preparations. We provided a short list of favourites which enabled him to work his magic and produce the perfect mix for our guests! He was very friendly with guests and took a few special requests on the night. We highly recommend him and appreciate his part in making it an evening we'll never forget :) Thank you!"

"The guys are amazing to work with! Nothing is too much trouble or a silly question. They go above and beyond and our first beer and music festival was a hit. I wouldn’t have wanted to use anyone else! From the beginning until even after the event the guys were incredible and the best! With so much to do, lighting and sound was something I didn’t have to worry about. Great communication coming from them without me having to go to them, a long time in advance. Highly recommend for everyone for great quality not only for sound and lighting but also for every other aspect like professionalism, friendliness, helpful, commitment, communication, knowledge…. Absolutely everything about these guys is 5*! Thank you so much guys!"

"Lukas DJ’d at our wedding and it was absolutely PERFECT! He was meant to only DJ in the evening but ended up staying the whole day at no extra cost. The dance floor was absolutely popping, his song choices were perfect and he really made our night the best night of our lives. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Katie & Tom x"

"Darren was perfect. I cannot recommend him enough! Will definitely be my go to for the next party! From my first query he was quick to respond to any questions I had and tailored the music exactly how my parents would have wanted. He also came prepared and early to deal with music requests and everyone said how great the music was at the party. He is also a nice and friendly person too which also is a plus!! Definitely will be in contact again for the 60th!!! Thanks again!!"
