"My remit was that the band wants to keep it old school," says Shenton. "No in-ears, it's six loud wedge mixes, side-fills and an analogue rock 'n' roll sound.
"My good friend Matt Coton of BCS Audio had been lucky enough to win the 500th SD8 at PLASA 2010," Phil continues. "I've always been a fan of DiGiCo consoles, so I gave Matt a call and hired the SD8 for the UK and Europe tour.
"Both the band and I were very impressed with the sound and versatility of the SD8. We've been playing a range of venues and its small footprint has meant that I've had no space issues, while the interface and software are extremely user friendly and intuitive. It really is a joy to use."
