We had provided site wide audio for Hemingway Design and their smaller O2 event ‘Sample’ in the past, so scaling this up for Urban Village Fete was no problem!

The festival held in the shadow of the O2 was a mixed family affair; music, art and crafts, with a large main stage along with some smaller satellite attractions for smaller acts, the majority using our excellent Martin Audio Blackline X8’s for high quality, unobtrusive PA.

The main stage used Martin Audio MLA Compact and WS218X to great effect, along with a simple lighting setup. It was a daytime event, so the lighting was kept low key and effective, with bright sunshine taking the crown for the most impressive light show! Chauvet ColorRail LED battens along with ProLights cob pars providing a visual effect and a subtle wash.

With sunshine came the crowds, and the event was a massive success, Gilles Peterson playing main stage to thousands of happy people.
