Easy Audio and Lighting

As part of an additional Enterprise module from the music technology course at Middlesbrough college, a group of young passionate students, eager to break into the industry where given the chance to form their own company. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Easy-Audio-Lighting/319778074699044

Some nice star cloth and par cans here
So with the help of a kind lecturer we set out to start a PA hire firm, getting work around the Teesside area, we hired out some of the college's audio and lighting equipment from the music technology department and offered our services as aspiring audio technicians. The primary goal of this operation was to gain real life experience in the industry, start networking to gain a foot hold in the local music scene and getting paid beer money didn't hurt too much either!

You don't really learn live sound properly unless you experience it first hand. Learning the theory is essential... but you have to go out and get the experience in order to really know what your doing. At this point in time there's still lots I need to learn but I'm looking forward to doing so and after this brilliant little module, I can honestly say that I have learned an absolute tonne from it and gained much more confidence to work in the industry.
