ALLEN & HEATH TAKES STOCK AT LARGEST EUROPEAN WAKEBOARD FESTIVAL
Abersoch, U.K. (August 31, 2005) -- Cheshire-based VME Ltd. used a selection
of Allen & Heath mixers for the sixth annual Wakestock festival, which took
place recently in North Wales. With an increased capacity of 20,000 visitors
and four arenas of top DJs and bands, Wakestock has become Europe's largest
wakeboard music event.
VME managed all of the festival's technical requirements, supplying Kling &
Freitag speakers, Lab Gruppen amplifiers, Mac lighting, and a cross section
of Allen & Heath's live sound consoles and DJ mixers.
The Main Arena included live performances from the Ordinary Boys, the
Undertones, Million Dead, the Bodyrockers and Thirteen Senses, while the
Second Arena and Brouhaha Beach stages hosted DJ sets throughout the weekend
from Tall Paul, Norman Jay, the Scratch Perverts, John '00' Fleming, and The
Libertines's Carl Barat. Allen & Heath's compact multi-purpose MixWizards
were employed as sub mixers on the stages, while Xone:62 DJ mixers were
installed on stage for the DJs. There was also a VIP tent where a further
Xone:62 was installed.
New for this year's event was the Evolution Tent, hosting DJs on the first
day, including a headline performance from established drum & bass duo, Ed
Rush & Optical, and unsigned talent on the second day. An ML4000 VCA console
was installed to manage FOH and monitor sound on both nights, with a Xone:62
installed for the DJs.
The Wakeboarding event comprised two major competitions, the Big Air Classic
and Wakestock Pro, attracting contestants from all over the world. VME also
provided the sound reinforcement for these events, held at a nearby marina
and beach, selecting an Allen & Heath PA12-CP portable powered mixer to
manage audio and a Xone:62 DJ mixer for a live DJ entertaining the crowd
in-between sessions.
