Last show at Colston Hall, Bristol before renovation

Last show at Colston Hall, Bristol before renovation

The Colston Hall, being the biggest venue in Bristol, has been a regular haunt of ours for over 20 years. We have provided sound and crew for countless artists coming through the city. The venue closes in June for a complete 2 year rebuild that will see the entire building gutted and remodelled. As last night's gig with Ezra Furman marked our last show in this legendary venue we thought we'd take a few snaps to commemorate the occasion. Colston's load-in is terrible, the back stage areas look like a prison camp and place is falling apart, but the staff have always been great to us and we're going to miss this place...

DiGiCo training comes to King Sound

DiGiCo training comes to King Sound

Having recently invested in two DiGiCo SD12 touring consoles for our rental stock, we thought it was a good idea to invite DiGiCo along to get us up to speed on all the advanced features these powerful consoles have to offer. The training took place at the King Sound warehouse so we could train with our own consoles and also have other our equipment at hand, if required.
