Fun couple of days supporting the next cohort of young #livesound engineers to find their feet. A full compliment of @sE_Electronics microphones, @allen_heath SQ5, @dbaudiotechnik audio system with DAD foldback. A great start with some of the best gear on the market.

Better half bought a piano stool with a manuscript compartment from a boot sale. A previous owner had covered the seat with horrible fabric, so it came off. A message from the past or reflection on famous Jerry Lee song? #music #piano #fakeantiquesroadshow
