Middlesbrough College Magazine show

Middlesbrough College Magazine Show

During September and October I have been helping Middlesbrough College with a show they put on every week called "Middlesbrough College Magazine show" I used the college gear (such as the little Behringer desk, mics and active FOH monitors) we worked with the bands and lecturers to put on a show in the pod above reception in the middle of the college.

I worked with my mate David Turner and together we got the gear from the college's cupboard of doom and set up this little rig in the pod on a lunch break.

I really wish these little Behringer desks had a compressor built in because I needed one for this type of gig. I had to ride the faders manually and act as a sort of human compressor really.

Me running the show... like a boss!

College bands performing live

These shows have also been performed in the college theatre, Unfortunately nearly everything was already setup in the theatre so I only got a chance to wire up the stage monitors and mics, which was kind of cool. Wish I could have wired the whole thing up though mwaaaaaaahahahahaha would have been fun ^_^

"Please thank Tom & David for me ~ more or less run the whole caboodle themselves (I was teaching and was just able to dip in and out) ~ they didn't complain once, though they had a right to being left to organise it!!" 

"Thanks to David Turner and Tom Munro for doing the sound on Friday morning. They ran the whole thing professionally and without a single grumble. Thanks Tom and Dave"

Me hard at work 

Here I am operating the Soundcraft lx7ii which I quite liked, I am a bit of a Soundcraft fan (especially with them being made in England!) the desk I learned from was a Soundcraft ghost but recently at another one of these events I was given the privilege to operate a Yamaha LS9-16 which made me fall in love with digital mixers!!!! It was a thing of beauty!
