On the road with Mark Summers: Elvis from Memphis to Vegas

Touring sound for Mark Summers means keeping the show consistent while adapting to the theatres along the route.

From Swanage to Runcorn and Louth

Our touring audio work with Mark Summers and Elvis from Memphis to Vegas has taken us to the Mowlem in Swanage, the Brindley in Runcorn and the Riverside in Louth.

Each venue brings a different room and house PA. The job is to prepare the show, understand the venue setup and give the performance a clear, suitable sound in that space.

The room changes; the preparation continues

Connecting to the house sound system is followed by the checks and sound check needed for that theatre. The engineer works with the venue team to understand the room and the available equipment.

That preparation is a substantial part of touring audio. It helps us maintain a familiar approach for the performer while making the adjustments each venue needs.

Nothing But A Good Time: taking the sound on tour

Touring audio takes us from Huntingdon to Peterborough, Eastleigh and Runcorn, with a different house system at every stop.

Touring audio means preparing for the room as well as the show.

One show, several venues

Our work with Nothing But A Good Time has taken us to the Commemoration Hall in Huntingdon, New Theatre Peterborough, the Concorde Club in Eastleigh and the Brindley in Runcorn.

The performance travels, but each room has its own sound system, stage layout and working arrangements. The technical preparation helps us connect the touring setup to what the venue provides.

A familiar desk, a fresh sound check

Taking our own touring sound desk gives us a familiar starting point. We then connect to the house PA and work through the sound check for that room.

That combination gives the engineer continuity while leaving room to adapt to the venue. Working closely with the house team is part of getting the system ready for the audience.
