The Great Escape Festival once again took over Brighton for 3 days of new music, and Penguin Media Hire provided full technical production to Door 77 (formerly Bau Wow) as they provided the venue for The Alternative Escape.

30 bands over 3 days graced the venue, with stand out sets from Juiceboxxx, Kroy and on the Saturday, ÅÄÖ Sounds Swedish took over the day with their showcase of Swedish emerging artists.

We provided an Allen & Heath SQ6 digital mixing desk, along with a full stage package including microphones, stands and all cabling. as well as technicians for the event. Because our sister company Penguin Media Solutions designed and installed the sound and lighting systems, we have an intimate knowledge of the venue, so know how to extract the best from the fantastic Martin Audio system and the bespoke lighting rig.

Overwhelmingly positive comments ensued, and the three days finished without a hitch, with sound quality and tight organisation high on the list of likes. We had a great time, and are already looking forward to next year!
