For many years now we have supplied the PA system for Braunston Historic Boat show and not really mentioned it so wanting to "shout" about this because it is an amazing event, wonderfully local, wonderfully boatful! https://northantsmag.co.uk/braunston-historic-narrowboat-rally-2026-in-pictures

Follow this link for some great photographs of how the world was many years ago. These canals were the motorways of England and the juggernauts that plied there trade on them were work horses and now some of the remaining are just beautiful barges in a wonderful setting and the Braunston Historic Boat Festival brings these together from all over England along with a lovely community of people.

Juice Sound Limited provides a TOA 615 re-entrant horn system, with five elements on two stands one of which is placed upon the roof of the laundry room to provide an even spread of spoken word from a Sennheiser EW500 Handheld some distance away on the metal bridge you can see in the photograph and a running commentary is made as each historic boar approaches and enters the Marina. A 150w 100v line mixer amplifier receives the signal through a long periodic antenna with a spare and standy announcement microphone in case of loss of signal

As July 2026 makes it hot way through the summer we were asked if we could again help Braunston Primary School with the loan of a stage and back drop for their leavers performance. Using a staging system that is lighter then our normal steeldeck staging units but still able to hold an enormous weight we put in a 2.5M by 4M "pop up" stage at 40cm high and a 20ft by 10ft high woollen serge back drop for the year 6 to do their final theatre performance. Helped by our rather fabulous work experience chap Ethan, John S was able to "pop in" the "pop up" stage quickly and easily. (excuse the pun!). Performance done and prior to the last assembly where all the space was needed in the hall it was "popped out" and now having used this we will see this stage going out on a regular basis for such events.

A superb annual event that we love to do is the Festival on the Close for the Macready Theatre in Rugby. Held in the grounds of Rugby School this amazing arts festival puts on events throughout the day on each day of the six day event with local schools coming in and workshops all over the School, followed up by a music or theatre show in the evening on the main stage. Over the years this has grown to quite a size and we are pleased to have been able to support it and help it grow over this time. This year with a 10M by 8M black box stage on an 8 mast lift with 14 one tonne chain hoists supporting video walls and Nexo GEO805s sound system using Digico, Midas and QSC for mixing dependant on the artistes needs making it a flexible and floating tech base covering all needs from the "Ibiza Orchestra" through a great act called "Girls Got Brass" to opera, comedy and the best Amy Winehouse tribute around. The video screens provided both advertising and live video with amazing results and the lighting added the final layer.

Juice Sound Limited provided all component's for this event from the Prolyte Flat roof, power distribution to all the site and vendors. Architectural lighting, stage lighting, rigging, technician's and operators as well as the extra sound systems for daytime use around the Close. A really big thanks to Dave and Mike at Knights Event Crew who supplied the quality crew for getting all of this in and out so quickly and our own amazing crew Tom S, Maria S, Jack H, Claire H, Roy H, Sam S, John S, Karl T and a big thanks to the Macready Team of Tim, Ross, Alice, Amie, Kyle, Cameron, Claire and Millie as well as many others who made this happen so well.

So lovely and busy! The heat is on in more ways than one but a great summer season so far. Loads of shows and events, some smaller, some bigger but a delight and alwasy fun to do.

Friday 21st June saw us on an event for Geoff at SSS for a private School near Northampton. Music and Theatre from the children who did really well considering the heat in beautiful surroundings and grounds. Juice Sound Limited provided the audio services with L-Acoustics ARCs and Sb218 subs mixed on a Midas M32 with P16M headphone monitor mixing for the band. A mixture of Shure Sm81's for all instrumentation except for BSS AR133 for the keyboards, guitar and Bass for the band along with 8 AKG C3000 Large Diaphragms for the stage pick up and Sennheiser EW500 Wireless handhelds for the announcement's and singers. Always a nice event, great quality from the children and the teachers and while a trifle warmer than usual (probably the new norm) was a great event

Ready for another Daventry Motorcycle Festival

12/03/2026

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!
