Here is some of our feedback from previous customers:
"I have engaged Lee’s services for a couple of years now, originally on the recommendation of a friend. Lee is always professional with a fine set of ears for mixing often tricky combinations of instruments - and artists! He is a delight to work with and cares deeply about the work he does. I really enjoy working with Lee, he is great team player and a supremely safe pair of hands. I would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone for any event they are running." - Kit Bailey (Live To Your Living Room / Live At Sam's)
I whole-heartedly recommend Lee as a sound engineer. He has worked with Concerteenies at numerous events including soloists, chamber ensembles and bands up to a full symphony orchestra with narration. He’s absolutely reliable, always strives for the best sound and is a thoroughly nice person!" - Polly Ives (CEO/Creative Director, Concerteenies)
"I have known Lee for several years as a sound engineer for a variety of diverse applications around folk music and dance. Folk music carries a lot of overhead for sound engineers because you never know what the next instrument or voice might be like or capable of, and the range of skills from young amateur to full professional brings many challenges. He has dealt with every situation I have thrown at him with good humour and calm professionalism, combined with an in depth knowledge of the tech both new digital and analog. He also manages an often difficult audience of older people with grace and positive attitude. His time keeping and general business management makes him easy to work with. He comes very highly recommended by me." - Gareth Kiddier (Originator, Folk Dance Sound Collective)
"Reliable and reassuring, working with Lee is an absolute pleasure. He blends the calm diligence of a knowledgable technician with the ear and sensitivity of a musician.” - Gavin Davenport (Hekety)
“Lee is quick, professional, and always checks in on how the sound should be, as well as regularly checking in to make sure monitor mixes are spot on so the band can hear well and play their best. Working with Lee is a breeze, it helps knowing that he will keep adjusting the sound to make sure the band sound the way they should. He goes the extra mile to make sure you’re happy, and I trust him to make the decisions to ensure we sound good!” - Will Chamberlain (Will Power)
