Gala 2007: Sound Engineer


Along with scenes from backstage the digital zoom was able catch Ben Bull, Sound Engineer in action.

Its a massive job to set up the sound system for any live performance, with metres and metres of cabling, 8 microphones, 3 amplifiers, 2 keyboards, 1 piano, numberous percussion instruments and a hugely varied set list of performers it was Ben's job to make sure all the musicians were set up properly, balance their sound, cope with the wind blowing sound waves back into the PA speakers and add "sparkle" to the sound whenever required.

The music at teh FDMC Gala could not have run so smoothly without such a competent and relaxed sound engineer.
