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.
