  • Sound, stage monitoring and lighting
  • Noise-management planning and monitoring logs
  • Optional multitrack recording by prior arrangement

A practical approach

Prepared before doors. Present throughout.

Good production is more than turning up with equipment. The plan, people and timings all need to work together.

01

Share the plan

Tell me about the venue, acts, audience, schedule and the result you want from the day.

02

Shape the package

I'll build an operated sound and lighting package around the event, rather than forcing the event around a fixed bundle.

03

Deliver calmly

Setup, soundchecks, live operation, changeovers and pack-down are coordinated from one clear technical plan.

Managed events

Support that reaches beyond the stage.

For small festivals and multi-act events, Triple Eight Live can help organisers prepare the technical detail that keeps the event moving and supports responsible sound management.

  • Input lists, stage plans and changeover schedules
  • Noise-management planning for TEN applications
  • On-site sound-level monitoring and monitoring logs
  • Optional multitrack recording by prior arrangement

An amazingly passionate and gifted sound technician. It was an absolute pleasure having Ben by my side for the event, and I can’t wait to do it all again.
Danny NashEvent Organiser
Ben was amazing. He kept the sound in check, with zero complaints from local residents. We couldn’t recommend Triple Eight Live enough.
Cerne Abbas BrewerySite Owner
Absolutely the best sound system I’ve heard in years. The lighting was amazing, the atmosphere upbeat, and the changeovers smooth, swift and brilliantly done. I couldn’t recommend them enough.
Jay StevensonAttendee
Having a great connection with the sound and lighting team is really important. Ben and Ted made us look and sound 400 times better. So glad to have met them.
