Sound services in or near the Greater Victoria area.  Specializing in:

• Folk music / dances with live bands and callers.
• Providing great quality, integrated sound for hybrid meetings over Zoom, MS Teams, etc.

I provide all the basic gear for a function (see Base Equipment List below).  Because size/type of functions and facilities can vary greatly, we may rent different/additional gear to ensure good quality sound as appropriate for the venue and function.

Price negotiable, depending the the complexity, amount of prep work, size of function/venue, gear required, etc.

Want references?  Happy to provide them... just drop me a line.  In a nutshell, I'm not a DJ.  Rather, I've been involved with mixing live music for folk and light rock style music for 40+ years.  I've been the sound technician for Victoria Contra Dance for the last 10 years.

Are you running a community dance or folk event?

Much of what I do is at a deeply discounted rate (or free) in order to support the local community.  Please consider "buying me a coffee" to support those efforts.  Thanks!
