What audio console are you utilising? And how many channels?

Big packages, small space, hmmm a bit like me. OK, OK it does sound really good

Do you utilize any outboard effects/EQ, and if so, what are they used on and why?
I have everything I need within the onboard EQ and dynamics, but the Plug-in tools are F’in amazing. And Fun.

Favourite PA system?

London O2 and a dry Glastonbury.

My trusty Ivie IE-30A spectrum analyzer.

Reflections.

No Reflections.

With hindsight, what job would you have chosen for yourself?
I can’t complain, I have met so many nice people and had a lot of fun around (and outside) the planet, and been paid for it.

In my kitchen eating cheese on toast. Goodnight.
