Message to Steve in Sidmouth.
As one of the "ego inflated non entities in charge of a sound desk" I would invite you to give it a try sometime.
This "ego inflated non entity" has not only done 100s of gigs, but also spent over 30 years broadcasting on national radio.
I think that your comment is not only misplaced. but downright insulting.
So Steve. get yourself a PA rig....Spend hours rigging and de-rigging it, get a perfect sound, and get to bed at 4 in the morning, and then tell us "ego inflated non-entities" what we are doing wrong. Until then, your opinion is pointless.
I would urge you to check the "Don't Piss Off the Sound Guy" group on Facebook. Some real truths on there
