The assembled 1,400-strong audience were there to raise money for the music industry’s favourite charity, the Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy charity. In the process they honoured the career of Tony Adams MBE, and bid for a host of football memorabilia, hospitality and media packages. Canegreen Commercial’s Andrew Frengley designed the sound system and controlled proceedings as the stage manager for the event: "This is the fourth successive year we have worked with Zafer on this event. It is a relatively straightforward system for us to put in place now as we work in the venue frequently and know how to both augment and interface with the in-house PA system pretty seamlessly. Professionalism is key on an event such as this. The audience aren’t aware we are there, and Zafer feel secure that we are."
The Canegreen team installed Meyer UPMs, Meyer UPA-1Ps and Meyer USW-1P bass speakers, integrating the in-house system to achieve effective coverage of the audience. Damion Dyer was Canegreen’s front-of-house technician, operating a Midas XL200 with BSS Soundweb 9088 controllers maximizing system performance.
