Igoe PA is the right company for providing sound reinforcement for any live music event in or near Bristol.

Our EAW front of house sound system powered by a rack of Lab Gruppen amps is literally world class industry standard technology. This coupled with our extensive experience as performers and our comprehensive knowledge of sound engineering make us the best possible choice for putting on live bands.

The Langford vet school (part of the University of Bristol) contracted us to provide live sound reinforcement for their summer ball. The Venue was the Cadbury Country Club near Congresbury.

We supplied an 8k EAW system with Martin Audio monitoring. We also supplied all microphones, stands and cables. We used a Midas venice mixing desk with Klark Technik EQ, DBX compressors and Drawmer Gates, TC D2 delay and Yamaha SPX 990 effects.

It was a great night

We were approached by SAKS hair &  beauty based in the David Lloyd leisure centre in Long Ashton.

They wanted to put on a Fashion Show to showcase their hairdressing prowess. In addition they wanted a live band.

The ceiling was only about 7 ft high so we built the lowest catwalk in history.

We made sure to provide plenty of lighting to ensure the models hair sparkled and the clothes looked their best. 16 x 500 watt par cans on dimmers hooked up to a basic dmx lighting desk.

We bought in the Pete Trill band as they are a great audience pleaser and very easy to work with. We supplied a live sound rig with 2 x 18″ bins, 2 x 12″ tops and 3 x floor wedges all powered by Crown. We used an A&H desk with a rack of BSS eq and DBX outboard. It sounded great.

It was a great night but nobody paid any attention to the band which was a travesty as they display some of the best musicianship in the UK.

24/05/08

We were contracted to supply live sound equipment and lighting with an engineer for a wedding at the westbury-on-trym village hall.

We supplied half of our EAW rig with single 18″ bass bins, double 12″ mids and 10″ / 1″ tops. All powered by Crown. It sounded fantastic but was a little too loud for the owners of the venue - they had to ask our engineer to turn it down !

We also supplied all live sound equipment including all mics, d.i.’s, desk and outboard.

In addition we put together a simple dancefloor lighting rig with 2 x VRX gladiators and 2 x VRX flat scanners hung on a section of truss. We also provided some 500 watt par can stage lights on a wind up stand.

Everyone had a wonderful time and even the venue staff lightend up a bit by the end :0)

23/05/08

We provided a PA system for an event at the Tobacco factory in Bedminster Bristol.

We supplied a pair of 18″ Fane bass bins with a pair of 12 ” top boxes. In addition we provided microphones, d.i.s and a muliticore with a mixing desk, eq and cd player.

Ian made his engineering debut for us and engineered a live show which included an artist who used several tape to tape machines at once to create some bizzare audio effects.

19/05/08

We were called upon once again by quality Bath based Jazz quintet headed up by Stash (on Double bass) to provide live sound reinforcement for an unusual gig over two days for an art exhibition at the Green park station in Bath.

We provided a 1 kW rig with monitoring, microphones, and front of house mixing equipment including a rack of decent quality outboard.

These guys play wonderfully - a real treat for any one who happened to be passing by - some of the art was very impressive too.

04/05/08

We provided our EAW pa system for a concert by world famous classical guitarist Martin Taylor.

The rig consisted of 4 x AS490 Mid/Top Cabinets [8 Ohms] 360 Watts AES; 4 x AS422e Dual 12″ Bass Cabinets [4 Ohms] 800 Watts AES and 4 x SB850z Dual 18″ Sub Woofer Cabinets [4 Ohms] 2000 Watts AES.

We also supplied microphones, dbx/drawmer outboard, KT / BSS eq and Allen & Heath FOH.

Martin Taylor at the Bath PAvilion

This gig was engineered by Ben & Alex

“The PA was more than enough for the Bath Pavilion. Everyone remarked that the sound was fantastic. I only wish we could have tested it in the venue with a full band. We only had a solo classical guitar running through 20 kW all night !”

01/05/08

We provided a pair of mics - Shure sm58, two floor monitor wedges Martin powered by Crown, a sound craft mixer and DBX compressor for a hip hop night at the Red Room in Bristol.

30/04/08

We were booked to supply a pa system with live sound equipment for an event by a Sitar band at the gorgeous Matara centre in Kingscote Park near Tetbury.

Martin Speakers & Crown Amps

We supplied two full range Martin Audio cabinets powered by Crown XTi and 2 x Martin Audio monitor wedges. In addition we supplied an 8 channel soundcraft desk an d some basic outboard.

26/04/08

We were booked to provide live sound equipment, engineering and lighting.

We supplied half of our brand new EAW rig. The half rig is powered by one Lab Gruppen fp6400 and 2 x Crown XTi4000 amps.

The monitoring rig consists of 4 x Martin Audio monitor wedges and an EAW drum fill - all powered by Crown. 

For lighting we supplied 8 x 500 par 64 cans, 2 x V~R-8 scans and 2 x VRX Gladiatots, Martin Jem smoke and Atomic 3000 strobe.

The EAW rig absolutely blew our socks off - no wonder the biggest and best toruring companies in the world rely on EAW every time. 

We would say this…. but honestly this is the best sounding rig we have heard - definitely the best live sound rig available for hire in Bristol.

IF ONLY MORE PROMOTERS KNEW ABOUT US !!

The Polish Club is one of Bristol’s best small live music venues. Situated in the heart of Clifton it has long been established as a top little club for parties and gigs. 

13/04/08

We were booked to supply sound reinforcement and engineering for a gig by a local 6 piece band at the Polish club.

Igoe Pa was founded to provide a quality service for live bands in Bristol. Although a lot of our work is for events, weddings and parties our team are all muscians at heart so we relish any opportunity to engineer for bands. We take immense pride in our work and want to do the best possible job every time. 

We supplied part of our new EAW rig (the mids & tops) but used smaller bass bins as otherwise it’s a bit too loud for the venue who are always very considerate about their neighbours.

Using industry standard mics, our Alen & Heath 24 channel desk and a rack of decent outboard we made sure the sound was top notch.

We also supplied some basic lighting, 8 par cans and a pair of Abstract moonflowers.
