Or hear hear - it's what the soundman is there to enable.

My DI box (the big one we had to jury rig not to use) appears to be toast.

I can easily add foldback - the problem is space. The final frontier.

Very odd Dean, I could hear the bass perfectly (both with naked ears and with the cans on) - and I was only about 2 feet from you. I could easily bring bodhran up (indeed did in the second half) but had been asked to keep it down...

I prefer to have the desk opposite the stage, but in that venue it's hard, and the sound on the cans was very different from the FoH.

I would also like to refine the distinct sounds of the various guitars - but we ran out of time thanks to the naughty DI box.   

A policeman's lot is not a happy one.

But I thought you were generally good. I love Cari's fiddle sound and the sweeping elegance of her bowing so that notes swell rather than break in in a brittle manner.
