SOUND ENGINEERS

To keep them out of trouble when not gigging, Mike and Tony provide light and sound systems for local bands, theatre groups, etc.  Each summer they provide the sound and light for an open air production of a Shakespeare play by an offshoot of the Haverhill Theatre Company, Outspoken Theatre.  They were invited to do so again for this year’s production, The Merchant of Venice, and things went as they have in all the previous years: it rained!

However, there was one change in that there was a new member of the team.  A local boy, Lewis Clark, intends to become a sound engineer and he asked if he could come along.  Much to everyone’s surprise, he proved to be a real asset and from the very first performance worked the sound desk with a maturity and confidence that belied his 14 years.  He has since been to a couple of Jurassic Rock rehearsals and has shown that he not only has an understanding and aptitude for the work, but has a real feel for it too.  We don’t doubt that Lewis will engineer a few gigs – look out Mike, there’s someone after your job!
