Presented by BBC Radio 2's Ken Bruce, the live performance took place on 30 June in the beautiful grounds of Balmoral Castle, located in Royal Deeside in the shadows of Lochnagar. This beautiful estate has been a private residence to the British Royal Family since 1848.
FOH operations was organised by Rick Lawson of Funtime Audio Visual. "The event was a great success," commented Lawson, "and we had many compliments. Even Ms Jenkins commented on how good the sound was, and I am sure that was due to the investment we made on microphones with beyer prior to the event. I used beyer MC 740 condensers for overheads, MC 930 condensers for the closer instruments, Opus 82 clip-on condensers for brass and Opus 51 boundary microphone for piano. The sound was amazing."
