UK - Harman Pro UK recently supplied all the AKG microphones for Ray Davies' live performance at the BBC's Electric Proms event, which took place in North London over the course of a week at the end of October 2007. The Kinks' co-founder and chief songwriter took the stage to a packed audience at Camden's Roundhouse and ran through a set of vintage Kinks numbers and recent solo material.

Davies's live sound engineers Tristan Mallett and Chris Wibberley have been using C414s on the guitars and as drum overheads on all of the concerts Davies has performed this year in support of his new album, Working Man's Café, and introduced Davies to the new C5 and D5 stage mics when they were released earlier this year.

For the Electric Proms concert at the Roundhouse, Harman Pro UK supplied them with an Elle C microphone for one of Ray's female backing singers, while the man himself used a C5 condenser throughout the gig.
