I've been providing sound reinforcement (I hate the name PA) for an eight piece band for the last 25 years. We have three sax/clarinet, trumpet, trombone, keys, bass guitar, drums.
Many smaller venues don't need or require amplification apart from of course the keys, bass guitar and continuity announcements. I always feel that getting it as near right as you can during sound checks is essential and if necessary final small adjustments later. I hate overly loud PA or bass that swamps everything. You must if you can listen from the audience as thats what they are hearing. Sound reinforcement is only required when audiences are large and it should maintain the balance and tonal character of the band. I'm not perfect but I do my best for the band. https://soundcloud.com/user-26111423...-rye-selection |

I enjoyed listening to the samples of your band. That must be quite fun working with them. Another reason to get over to Scotland!

Thanks 8OB, yes its great fun, they're all amazing guys. I can't believe that the average age of the band members is now 74 with one sax player at 89, he still sounds wonderful with no lack of volume. I'm 75 and finding that the sound gear gets a bit heavier every year lol. If you ever get to the Highlands we'd be delighted to meet you.
