I was at Stone Soup for a concert in Dec. and I felt the sound was less than ideal. It was very difficult to understand the performer in the beginning though it did seem to get a wee bit better through the evening. I'm not sure what was going on and I am very sure the performer wasn't aware of what was coming out of the mains, only what was coming through the monitors.

In a room such as that, a PA system is essential. That room could hold at least 100 people. I'll get that contact info for you Maeve, though on second thought, my friend deals with recording acoustics, not live acoustics. But I may know someone else who can help...
