February saw us at Staverton Park Golf Club in their function suite providing a hire and install of a 90 inch Display Screen and simple sound system for a national distribution company who were supporting their staff with an awards ceremony for the local Daventry Hub at Staverton Park Golf Club. The event was self operation with Tom and John installing and taking away after. A nicely simple system of JBL EONs through a Soundcraft PowerStation mixer, two microphone stands, cables and two switched microphones performed all of the announcements and speeches and one of our Ilyama display screens on HDMI direct from the companies laptop performed playback duties. Very simple, very quick in and out and a pleased client.

Installations! Its nice to be asked to quote and even nicer when you get the job. In the main meeting room at Daventry Town Council is a projection and screen set up for room hire as well as Council meetings and follows an outdated format that was beginning to cause problems for people using the system. As part of an upgrade we provided an 86 inch video display screen by Ilyama to replace the set up with new cabling and connectivity. Unlike the drop down projection screen, the video display screen was to stay in place all of the time in front of a window and had to be mounted as close to the wall as possible. A design was come up with that allowed for a 20mm white laminated chipboard panel to be literally slotted into the window with necessary cut out to allow for the security grill protrusions with a top retaining batten glued and screwed into place with space behind to allow the laminated panel to slide up into and then to be held in place by a surround at the sides and bottom. The laminated panel has an expansion space of 5mm either side and top as its in a window with the sun shining on it and has a rubberised seat at the bottom to prevent it sitting in any water collecting at the bottom of the window. Two lengths of shallow unistrut was bolted onto the laminated panel to allow the screen mount to be fastened at any height within the window space. This method of mounting allows for the quick removal of the mounting panel for window maintenance with just a few screws but holds the screen firmly. The measurements were exact and the set up allowed for the screen to be mounted with the handles touching the wall behind either side of the window and could not have gone back any further. With cables run in behind and connected the 86 inch set sits in the window space and looks good in the space. The system now allows for multiple sources using USB , HDMI and USB c either direct or via a Hub for laptops, Zoom calls and display of multimedia product on a rather nice screen being a massive improvement on the old projected system and disguises the window well.....

Rugby Chinese Community's New Year was celebrated on Sunday the 22nd February in Rugby in the Market Square at the Clock Tower and was a wonderful event that shows how communities can proudly exist in harmony without losing heritage and style. Organised by the Rugby Chinese Society and put on by Rugby First, Juice Sound Limited was asked to provide infrastructure and technical support with one of our ARC Roof Stages built in front of the Clock Tower (with the now obligatory tree!) surrounded by Pop Up Gazebo's and Marquees with tables, benches and chairs, all supplied by Juice Sound Limited. The Marquees and pop ups were used for Changing rooms, Tea tasting, Origami, paper cutting, Lantern Making, Calligraphy and also featured designers like Kate Li Design with Noodles by Shirley and Jimmy of Appleton's. A non stop program of entertainment was provided on stage, with Musicians playing Chinese Music with solo's, duets and Orchestras in classic and modern styles and playback music for the wonderful ladies of the Rainbow Dancers who were performing classic Tibetan Dancing. Other entertainment included displays Taiji Quan, displays of Chinese Caliagraphy and paper cutting. The Whole Event was opened by speeches by the Mayor of Rugby, Cllr Barbara Brown, the MP for Rugby, John Slinger and Amy Zhang from the Rugby Chinese Society. Then two Chinese Lions and a long red Chinese Dragon led a procession, performing a dance around the Town Centre with a Panda who knelt and hugged soooo! many children for photo's, throughout the day, with so much energy, even closing the event with the last performance by a Lion and the Panda. (see video).

And the weather! It held sunny and dry and could not be better.

Juice Sound Limited provided a Prolyte ARC Roof cover over a steeldeck stage with a Court Black Box sound system placed either side of the stage. Two active 15" wedge loudspeakers provided foldback for the Dancers, Artistes and singers with a set of microphones (two each of ME66, C3000, SM57, Beta 58, Beta 87a and 5 x BSS DI Boxes mixed through a QSC Touchmix 16, which was placed under the stage as a stage box and mixed from two iPads. For lighting we provided 4 LED floods in warm white to enhance the costumes and faces on stage although it has to be said the sunlight was so bright they probably were not needed. A really great event and such a pleasure to do. Not an easy task as limited space and a wide variety of acts meant microphones were on and off the front of the stage like a yoyo and the sheer variety of performers kept us busy.

Big thanks to Amy Zhang from the Rugby Chinese Society, Chris from UCL, Linda from Rugby First and our own amazing crew for loading in, running the event and loading out. Tom S, Sam S, Luke S, Maria S and John S, (yes! Crewed entirely by family members)!

and finally, to the people of Rugby who turned out in their hundreds. well done!

Oooops! missed a few mentions here, just cruising, enjoying the weather! (Not very pleasant may I say!) Well a quick note to say a pleasure to support the Welton Village Pantomime at a request by Martin Heath with a loan of one of our Soundcraft Power Station mixers with an eight channel KT Compressor. Four Sennheiser wireless channels with head worn microphones and two Crown PCC160 Boundary microphones to two JBL Eons mounted on brackets we fitted many years ago just for this purpose. Nice and simple, perfect for their needs.

Its a wonderful event, held at the Village Hall in Welton and we are always pleased at the nice community feel when we arrive to fit the equipment and it is always a pleasure to support a great group of people.

After our rather "flooded" weekend the week before with both Wellingborough Christmas Light Switch and Daventry's Christmas Market you would have though we would be taking it easy but NO! Straight into the Amazing Fire & Ice Trail for Rugby First via Unlimited Communications.

A week of prep of this expansive event covering a lot of Rugby Town Centre. We provided support for six sites from power to the Story Telling Stage/Marquee from one of our generators with cables supported overhead to point of use through the trees which also supplied power for the 60M of festoon lighting suspended through the trees around Regents Place.

The next site was the Percival Guild House providing lighting, tables and coconut matting flooring over a plastic membrane in the Marquees for people to stand on and a heater to take the chill off. The gardens were lit with a mix of pea lights and warm white spots with two 400w MBFU floods to high light the trees.

The third site was an open topped stage of steeldeck built in front of Rugby's Clock Tower at 6M wide by 4.4M and between 0.75 to 1.2M as the ground slopes heavily by that nearly half a metre. Fully handrailed on three sides with two sets of treads for the fire effects and ice carving performance which was spectaculour. It was so busy every time we went past that we did not get any photographs as you could not get close enough.

Just up the Market Street from the Clock Tower we had the street filled with benches and tables for people to sit at and eat and if you followed the trail, past the ice carving demonstrations you would have come to the end of the High Street in Rugby to the Snowman Stage where a beautiful Ice Snowman stood alongside a 10M x 4M Marquee supplied by Juice Sound Limited with Coconut matting flooring, chairs and an 86 inch LED screen with loudspeakers and ice blue coloured battery uplighters up either side playing the short animated film "The Snowman" all powered from one of our Bluetti Power Banks.

Next! St Andrews Church is in central Rugby and was yet another stage space. In the gardens we built our Juice Sound Limited Prolyte Mini Flat Roof Stage with warm white LED lighting for the Choirs and Brass bands playing wonderful Christmas music and singing Carols through one of our QSC Touch Mix30's and a pair of Mega FR112 Long throw loudspeakers. An old school product, extreme horn loading and extremely efficient at 300w each for the whole site and projecting half way down Regent Street and carrying the sound without creating a nuisance for the services in the Church alongside. We built a 12M by 3M marquee on the side of the stage with it running down the side of the garden. Again with a plastic membrane and coconut matting for the flooring and we heated this space with one of our Dantherm VAM40 Indirect diesel heaters which even on low kept everyone toastie inside even with one of the side panels open, a little too warm closer to the vents we were told after! A festoon was fitted across the trees in the Church Gardens providing safe passage for all who visited with coloured architectural lighting to the Church buttress turning a dark and foreboding wall to colourful part of the overall theme.

From here we go back to Regents place to the other end of the park where we provided three 1.2M Corten Steel fire pits placed on paving slabs and sat on a sand pillow to prevent the huge steel dishes tipping surrounded by 20 of our steel pedestrian barriers and finished with a green 400w MBFU to the Yew tree behind the fire pits with seasoned logs, kindling and firelighters for the Girl Guides to sell giant marshmallows and sticks to roast raising funds for the Guide movement.

A brilliant day with five days of preparation and loading, three days of installation and it took 4 hours with the excellent Knights Crewing Service's to get it all out and onto the 18t truck and van. A big thank you goes out to Linda, Chris, Emma and Olivia. From Juice a complete family crew of Luke S, Sam S for Saturdays stage build along with Maria S, Tom S and John S for loading in and running the event.

The photographs show much more than can be written here, Have a look....

Over the years memories are made by the best moments working in this amazing industry but also memories are made by the worst or perhaps the lowest moments. Events that should not have been or ones that you should have known better then to take on or perhaps, as in this case a great event controlled by factors that you have no control over and one of these happened over the weekend. Saturday the 22nd was wet! I mean wet by the factor of times 10 only because we had to work outside in it! Did I say wet by the way?

Wellingborough Christmas Light Switch on happened, a rather superb event with great local acts with a switch on at the end using the Juice Sound BIG RED Button. Normally great weather, however it poured down with light rain from the load in at 8am which got heavier and heavier throughout the day with the slightest of breaks between each downpour. Thankfully no wind which was also in the forecast. We set up a Juice Sound Ltd Prolyte ARC Roof in a basic format with a Marquee side of stage. In hindsight we should have pulled that back a bit as the rain running off from the ARC Roof poured onto the roof of the Marquee which just made a sheet of water to view the stage through. Soaking wet but thankfully on an Island of Coconut matting grabbed at the last second before leaving Juice HQ was saving our feet, we watched the stream of water coming under the marquee walls and round us while we mixed and lit the acts on stage. A Industrial infrared heater kept us warmish if not a little steamy! From local Schools through children's dance groups, brass bands and the local Rock Choir. Each of the hardened fans stayed to watch their group and left and did I say it was wet, because it was. Towards the end for the switch on it lightened up and became quite pleasant and finished with a good audience, a great Button Press and fantastic fireworks. Packing up was not bad and with the help of Knights Crew all was away, very wet but away. Driving back, water was still dripping out of our coats in the truck cab making a pool on the floor. Did I say it was wet! It will certainly be down in my memory as a very wet event.

It will take about two weeks to get everything dry, getting it out in the warehouse to let the circulating fans take away the moisture before putting back into the racking and bays but despite all of this the Wellingborough Town Council Christmas Light Switch on was a great event and we look forward to the next years event. All credit goes to the techs on the job Sam S, John S, and Dave and the boys from Knights Crew.

Remembrance Sunday 2025 went like clockwork, the weather held and it was not cold which makes a big difference when you are on the Daventry Memorial almost all day! We actually start earlier in the year with paperwork and liaising with Daventry Town Council Events Team and then the week before finalising what is to be supplied with preparation, checking and testing of all the components and even going down to the area around the Memorial itself to make sure that power is available and that any alterations in and around the Memorial can be handled in the build on the day. The day before we drop barriers in the strategic positions around the Town Centre and fit the loudspeaker support stakes on the bank of the Church Yard at the top of the stone wall, not easy as many years of mature tree roots means pushing a stake into the ground while standing at 45 degree angle slippery bank on top of a high wall gets fun!

Knowing that these items are in place means that as daylight breaks on Remembrance Sunday Morning we are able to start the build with three 3 x 3 heavy duty pop up marquees to stand the equipment and brass band under. There are ten active loudspeakers used on this event and what looks like a fairly simple job is a surprisingly complicated one. First, power comes in from a limited lighting supply at the memorial which then goes into a Power Bank enabling us to draw over 4kw of power when needed from a small trickle supply and if power should fail the Power Bank enables us to run the event without losing sound. The loudspeakers are set up in 4 zones to enable us to control levels in different areas because some microphones are positioned in front of the closer loudspeakers to pick up the Parade Master and Brass Band. Four Larger 15" loudspeakers are used where the road is deeper (longer throw) and six Medium 12" loudspeakers are used in the other areas. These are mounted on the stakes and the two loudspeaker stands on level ground and then power/signal cables are fitted. Two Microphones, Shure Beta 87a's are provided for the Speeches and Prayers by Town dignitaries and the Vicar from Holy Cross Church with a third Shure Beta 87c for the reading of the Roll of Honour by Senior Children from local Schools. A fourth Shure Beta 87a is used for the Bugler on Last Post and Reveille. Two AKG C3000 Large Diaphragm microphones are used for the Brass Band and a AKG C451EB with CK9 Shotgun capsule in a furry wind m**f and is positioned to pick up the Parade Master. All the microphones come back to QSC Touch Mix 16 for mixing, equalisation and then routing to the appropriate loudspeakers. Items are tested through and sound checked, LED Floodlights are then positioned to light up the dignitaries while they speak in the microphones and the children from the local Schools rehearse their speaking. This is all done in two hours ready for people to arrive anything up to an hour prior to the event. . Post event it takes us two hours to get all of the equipment back out and loaded but its not finished there! No! Often the cabling and equipment is wet and muddy and over the next two to three days back at the warehouse all parts are wiped down, cables washed, equipment tested and put back into stock. On the day, once the equipment is dropped at the warehouse, we return to pick up all barriers, road cones and signage and by the end of the day you would not know we had been there......

It is always impressive how many People turn out for this important act of Remembrance and we always try our best to convey the sound of the Ceremony to all who are present and we are proud to be asked to provide these services.

We finally finish the Staff Shower! Yeah OK! We do actually wash but sometimes after loading on a hot day or coming in from a job, people staying overnight so a shower would be nice in the building. We have planned and worked on this for a couple of years as its a process of demolishing the old 70's toilet cubicles, piping, waste, ceilings and 50 years of debris while still having the facilities to use and above this there is another whole huge space above the old toilet block full of old infrastructure and cabling which has to be carefully removed, checked for hazardous materials and whether it needs to be replaced with newer products. In the process we had to fit new power distribution boards at the back of the warehouse to accommodate and update requirements as these were over 50 years old as well as renewing piping and fitting new waste systems.

Finally, while still getting out there to earn our living, we have eventually managed to put a water oasis in the middle of our little building site. We will put a couple of photos of the works on our 5XX Page and a better description of the works as it is more pertinent to the building and was complicated but for Juice Staff its a boon and we are pleased to have had it in use for the first time.

This weekend the 20th of September with load in the day before saw Juice Sound Limited on Rugby Food & Drink Festival, lots of stalls, lots of people with so much going on from Real Ale Bars, Circus Performers for the Children, Face painting and an amazing array of food along with all the other great things that you want to see on such a family friendly event. On the Friday we did the load in as we supply a fair bit of equipment in the shape of our 9M clear span marquee in a 9 metre length placed on tiniest little bit of flat area on the Regent Place Park, a level steeldeck stage on 30cm legs with a full kitchen set featuring Gas Hob, Electric Oven, Smeg Fridge, Sink with running hot and cold water and dishwasher with a lighting gantry of Prolyte truss supporting led floods to the Kitchen Set and spot cameras for the work top and hob as well as a long shot from the FoH all mixed on a Black Magic System with 50" screens. PA was two Brooke Active 15" speakers mounted on the truss with QSC Touchmix 16, mixing two wireless handhelds and two belt packs for Compere and Chef. All this was fitted and tested on the Friday and then at 6.30am on Saturday it was time to start our day. Our Compere for the day was the amazing Martin Heath. The Pop up Kitchen stage was powered from one of our 20kva Truck Mounted Generators. We also supplied the bench seating for the audience as well as back stage tables/chairs, plant displays and all the catering/Chef utensils, Pots and Pans.

For the Food Stalls that needed power we supplied one of our Road Tow Generators with a 63a three phase cable running 50M to a Juice Sound Limited Blue Box Distro and from there fed out to the stall holders in a variety of single phase 32a and 16a HO7 cables.

Finally we provide several sets of Bier Keller Style Tables and Benches for the visiting public to sit at and eat along with 12 Bourbon Whiskey Barrels (empty) as poseur tables. It went very smoothly and despite one or two showers was quite sunny and warm. Put together and run by a great team of Maria S, Sam S, Tom S, Jack H, Elizabeth S and John S with the amazing Dave and Steve from Knights Crew for the load out which thanks to them and our crew was all out and packed onto our 18t truck in 2.5 hours!

Friday 5th of September and out to a most rural part of the area at Ashby St Ledgers. Steeped in history this place is wonderful and our visit, while not historical is for an event that is a huge amount of fun. If you missed it, go next year, live music, food and bar in a tree lined field with an old set of gates in an amazing entrance way which led to Ashby Manor (the home of the Gun Powder Plot).

The event is the Ashby St Ledgers Hay Bale Push (You know those huge rolls of straw?) and in its second year. A team effort, timed run around a course with chicanes, obstacles and of course a few beers pushing or rolling these very heavy round bales of hay, which means plenty of hilarity and shouting as the teams race against each other to how fast they can complete the course (if at all).

We provided the announcement or commentary system for them to use for Martin Heath (BBC Radio Northampton) to run/walk and try not to get squashed while commenting and interviewing the competitors to a loud crowd and bands playing on the stage. The site is lovely, well lit and well laid out and a stunning small festival/event at the perfect time of the year getting darker early and the atmosphere and lighting really bringing the site to life. We provide a complete battery powered system of a master station powering four TOA Full range Projectors on two stands with wireless receiver for Martins handheld via a long periodic antenna covering the full distance of the site, transmitter to the two other remote 60w battery powered pods, again via a long periodic with two more TOA Full Range Projectors off of each on a heavy stand with receiving YAGI Antenna s mounted on each stand. All spaced out at over 50M spacings along the 250M? course.

Its nice to be invited to provide for these events and thank every one for attending and especially those who put it together including Tony B and his great crew, Martin Heath with Sam S and John S doing the technical in and out of the system.
