Dubbin your shoes, pin back your ears and commence your warm ups in preparation for the sheer audio delight created by the sound system of dreams, custom built and professionally set up it in a vaulted hall of hallowed soul.

Oldies is coming!

I really do look forward to this event. It's like a collection of all my favourite things, rolled together and served up as one delicious, mouth watering feast.

I get to go out with my beloved and our friends, have a few beers, engage in idle banter, natter, chat and discourse, tell some stories and do some laughing, listen to some good tunes and wave my arms and legs about in vague time to the music. I'm also in the very fortunate position of being responsible and in full control of the sound system.

I've been working on this music reproduction system for some years now. Garry and Shaun have been great to work with. They've listened to everything I've said, invested thousands of pounds and given me authority to set up in a text book manner. You would seriously question my sanity regarding the hours I have put into creating this sound. It doesn't just happen. There's far more to it than just wiring a pile of electronics together.

And, sound engineering can be hazardous. One time I was running tests at home and wearing ear protection when a sizeable chunk of plaster plummeted from the ceiling. When those bass bins are 21 years old, I can make them blow out all the candles on their cake, such is the ferocity, velocity and volume of the air they shift.


It's been a labour of love for me that has blossomed, borne  fruit and damaged buildings.


Every fault and bug has long since been identified, eradicated and is now just a distant, hazy memory. The sound has been perfected. This system, built  with care, knowledge, love and money will perform to the very limits of its operational parameters with ease, grace and beauty. It could also loosen your fillings. 

I'm now into the phase of pragmatic experimentation and research and I strive to extract just a little more sweetness. I've applied forty years of audio, electronic and acoustic experience to provide this hall designed for audio performance with the most shit-kicking soul sound system I can muster.

Though I have been involved in an advisory capacity with other sound systems, this is the only one I put my name to. But hey, what do I know? Come down, give it a listen, see what you think. You won't be disappointed and your ears will love you for ever for the sonic gift bestowed upon them.

I'm very pleased with sound performance today. A few complaints it was too powerful. I made adjustments and pulled it back but it's very difficult to please everyone. I tried my best and hope someone noticed just how good that was.
