    Massive shout out to all of the crew at Penguin Media Hire who trick out our gaff with speakers, projectors, sound desks & lighting – everything that makes anything MAGIC! They’re brilliant, ridiculously helpful, so good, and literally the nicest humans on the planet.

    Jamie Young
    Backroom Productions
    Just a quick one to thank for a cracking gig last night! The guys (Groove Armada) really enjoyed it as did I. Production was all spot on as well, so top work all round!

    Ian Baird
    Whiskey Bravo Productions / Brighton Pride
    The dynamic properties of the Martin Audio system allowed us to produce a far richer sound within our stages without serious issues with sound bleed, both between stages and out of the wider site.
