After moving into the Transmission Station in 2018 Juice Sound now has th

e ability and space for servicing and repairs and manufacture of bespoke components and systems which have been installed all across the UK and Europe but also continues its core structure of supplying crewed hire equipment systems and services into many different events and disciplines within the entertainment sector from Educational such as many well known Private and Public Schools, Universities, through major venues, local venues, hotel groups and working with local authorities providing an all encompassing service that means there are no gaps in supply and always leads towards a seamless event.......

While having the ability to provide these services across the UK and into Northern Europe through touring and providing specialist knowledge and equipment into unusual situations much work has been done on reinforcing our work with local authorities in and around us near Daventry providing hire equipment & services in smaller events and local authorities in Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire, Leicestershire and Warwickshire. Much of our services may pass unnoticed but many events use our equipment and staff in and around these areas. Recent events have been done in Rugby, Towcester, Dunchurch, Banbury, Warwick, Daventry, Weedon, Pattishall, Manchester, Central London

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 above this because there is another whole huge space above the old toilet block full of old infrastructure and cabling. 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 finally 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.

August Bank Holiday Weekend saw us on the annual outing supporting the amazing volunteers at the Weedon Weekender. In its tenth year, (of which we have done seven). This is a wonderful, family friendly festival of music over three days but including a Church Service, local stall holders selling their produce, a dog show and much more. It is a delightful, locally run festival and it is a pleasure to be involved with it.

Juice Sound Limited provided two stage roofs with our Prolyte Mini Flat Roof and our Prolyte 6 x 4 Arc Roof with tech bays built side by side, staging was Steeldeck and installed so that both stages were on the same level and joined by a "bridge" allowing everyone to access and move between stages at stage level. Three points of access meant artistes and techs could move around without having to cross a stage. The Live entertainment was programmed back to back and as one stage is running the second is being prepared, line checked and monitors set. With one quick introduction the next stage goes on! The stages were setup with similar equipment with both having six Juice Sound MB3 bi-amped wedges over five sends and each stage had its own dedicated QSC Touchmix 30 Digital Mixing desk, snakes for input and a similar set of microphones. FoH mixing was via the Touch Mix 30 app on several tablets over our secure WiFi and allowed the engineers to toggle between desks on the same app with a further tablet on stage with a Wireless IEM Transmitter/Receiver for the engineer on stage setting up the Monitors and Line checking prior to the next act going on. It also enabled the engineer to monitor the source from any position covering both the live stage and the set up stage from any position and from either desk. The two desks were mixed into the main FoH amp rack by using our MIDAS XL88 Matrix mixer (see pic) which allows for up to eight inputs on any eight outputs with full metering. This meant that each digital desk could be muted on main outputs but all other outputs such as Monitor sends etc were still live to that stage for set up. For FoH we used our Court Black Box System, in this case 3 stacks, one positioned either side of each stage but all used at the same time. Coverage was excellent to the site which is amazing and shows the efficiency of this classic product for what is a 3.6kw PA System! The whole set up worked flawlessly and a joy to mix on. Lighting was via single Chamsys Desk again controlled by wireless tablet with 20 LED Six Colour lamps per stage arranged in different layouts to allow for the mounting capabilities along with six ETC Source PARS on each stage via an Avolites ART2000s dimmer that acted as Hot Power distribution as well as dimming. Power is limited and we design the distribution across the site with total of 60 amps three phase for all the site lighting, bar supplies, stage supplies and concessions. Two supplies go out through our Juice Sound metered boards that allow us to balance the phases and prevent any overloads which all worked perfectly with no power problems over the full five days on site.

A great weekend finished off with a superb firework display.

Installed and run by an amazing crew with John S, Maria S, Tom S, Sam S, Luke S and Jack H and a big thanks to the organisers who give so much of their time to put this event on with a mention to Richard, Sue, Chris, Neil, Dave and John.

Until next year!

Cricket was the name of the game last week. Edgbaston came to Rugby at the beautiful pitch in Rugby School, I say pitch but there are many cricket pitches at the school, however this is the match pitch on the same hallowed ground where the game of Rugby started and it was in perfect condition for some great matches with Warwickshire CCC playing three games. Metro Bank One Day Cup games against Northamptonshire (10 Aug), Kent (13 Aug) and Middlesex (15 Aug). Gorgeous weather for all three if slightly hot for us at Juice Sound Limited to be working in. We provided a complete system for announcements around the site providing wireless transmission of announcements through 4 battery powered "pods" that provide receivers and 60w 100v amplifiers to two TOA 30w 100v line projection loudspeakers and a further two battery "master pod" with receivers with 120w amplifiers powering four 30w 100v line TOA projection loudspeakers. Two sets of transmitters were used to send the signal on two frequencies via long periodic antenna giving dual reception in case of drop outs. The microphone was mixed on a OSC Touch mix 16 for equalisation and routing to four zones/transmitters. At the Cricket Pavilion where the control was set up, another 120w 100v amplifier was placed to power two TOA 100v Projection horns provided coverage to the VIP and Families/Guests area. Not a simple set up but coverage was good and the system is completely portable going in and out on a daily basis.

Not a bad time, getting paid to watch some truly professional cricket in a lovely setting.

Big thanks to Tom S and John S for tech and support and Jimmy and his team of Groundsman who are so unrecognised for their efforts and do such a great job on the pitch.

Last couple of weeks of the Summer Term and Braunston Primary School puts on a show and a request comes through for a stage and as an added extra a black back drop. We often feel at Juice Sound that any introduction into the Arts and Theatre is the best for young minds. It may only be the School play but it could be a life long love of performance, acting, theatre. Not just in watching but hopefully behind the scenes making the magic work as an actor, dancer or technician so yes of course we will! Juice Sound Limited was pleased to support Braunston Primary School with the loan of a carpet covered 4.8M by 3.6M with a 3M high Black Woollen Serge Back drop. It stayed in for a little longer than needed as we were busy but very happy to help out with Installation and removal by John S, Maria S, Sam S, Karl T and Dean P.

Thanks guys

Daventry Calling, Dark and Still! That is the start of the first transmissions from Borough Hill by the BBC on July the 27th 1925 at 7.30pm. This is it, we are now officially one hundred years old! I know it sounds a bit weird but for those who know us, we proudly own and occupy the BBC's first purpose built transmission station building and probably the first purpose built station in the world. No expense spared on its construction, pushing all boundaries of radio at that time , trail blazing and experimental, commissioned by the British Broadcasting Company with a license from the Post Master General, Marconi built the first and highest power long wave transmitter in the World with the sole purpose of providing public service broadcasting to the majority of Great Britain. Daventry was chosen as being the most central point in great Britain to cover the greatest amount of the population and this began a relationship between the BBC and Daventry that started in 1925 and continued until the mid 1990's. This building, we occupy, housed the transmitter 5XX and was used to not only transmit the National Service but later the Third program (Radio 3 via 2 x 100kw senders called T3), war time transmissions to allies in Europe, secret transmissions to the underground during the 2nd World War. Experiments were conducted in moving pictures and stereo transmissions as well as later being the Worlds First remotely controlled transmitter building. Later other parts of the Hill were developed to include the Empire Service, the World Service, the RAF master GEE Station as well as several other MOD Transmitters and the Transmissions from the Daventry Transmissions helped prove that Radar was possible helping to save many lives and shorten the 2nd World War. This place has a lot of History and we are so proud of it and what it means, not only to Daventry but to the World as it started a relationship that meant Daventry became the Centre of World Wide Transmissions from the BBC offering quality programming with clear and unbiased reporting around the world with the World Services and started the basis and high standards of modern radio transmissions. It all started here!

Not bad for the Old Girl, what a life, what a career!

In June we had a great ten day period supplying for the Macready Theatre in Rugby all production services for the Festival on the Close. This year with a set from Jo Wiley, The BBC Big Band, Comedy Artistes from the Manfords Comedy Club, student bands, The Horne Band and much, much more. The weather was amazing and it was a delight to supply our Juice Sound Limited Prolyte 10 x 8 Flat roof stage with full theatrical blacks. A Nexo GEO805 Sound System flown in the truss arches either side along with the duplicated Video Screens for content playback and live feeds from the amazing Video Crew Alice and Cameron. Sound was mixed on a Digico SD8 with L-Acoustics FM115 HiQ wedge for Monitoring and an eclectic set of microphones from many Beyer M88's through several Shure SM7's, multiple SM81's, AKG C414 EB's and a mix of the standard Rock N Roll microphones. Actually a little spoilt for choice but nice to have. Lighting was 16 moving heads, 8 Source 4 Profiles, 12 Source 4 Pars, 24 Hex colour LED PAR64s all mixed on a Chamsys Surface. Apart from stage side we provided all the power for Food stalls and Bars both overhead suspended cabling and through copious amounts of cable tray. We provided a Lit entrance goal post, architectural lighting and toilet lighting with festoons and powerfloods mounted in trees. Beautifully managed by Amie and put together by Tim it is a great annual event for the people of Rugby and a pleasure to do.

A great crew made this possible so big thanks to Knights Crewing Services, Alice and Cameron for great stage management and Video Mixing, Kyle for being cool and efficient, Amie for her grace and control and our own guys Tom S, John S, Maria S, Sam S, Jordan W, Jack H, Claire H and Roy H for some great technical expertise.

Friday afternoon after we had finished our local School Event we took the Mini Flat Roof stage across to Rugby and installed it for a local Charity Event called Hamplified a lovely Festival raising funds for the Matt Hampson Foundation. It was a pleasure to support this event which we have done for a couple of years now.

It was nice to see that despite the threat of rain it was the busiest Hamplified yet, so big shout out to all from Rugby and area who supported this event and we were proud to be asked to provide for it.

Funny how the weeks go by and everything merges into one long blur! First day in ages that we are sat or working in the warehouse getting prepared for Davfest amongst others and spending some time updating social media, our own cars/vans/trucks needing a clean. You know! All those things you don't get a chance to do when busy!

However Friday is worth mentioning as it saw us provide support for our longest serving School in Daventry the Parker E Act Academy. Earlier in the year there was a discussion around providing something modern for the Children from the School to finish their year on and in this case the children opted for a Summer Festival and we were contacted and were proud to provide support for the event for the School with a Mini Flat Roof Stage, Our Court Black Box sound system with QSC Touchmix 30, 4 way monitor mix and two experienced technicians in the shape of John and Tom. The stage went in on the Thursday Afternoon and tech in on the Friday Morning, not too sure what to expect as the Teachers had far more important things to put together than giving us details so ready with a wide range of product and met with an enthusiastic group of children as soon as we arrived and it was a brilliant event. Blown away by the quality and ability of the children playing both in bands and performing solo to backing tracks. We were pleased to support a local School and give the children performing a chance to be on a stage, live in front of their peers. Well done Parker E-ACT!

A dreary Sunday cheered up by a fun event and great company.

Today we're at Wellingborough Party in the Park providing stage, PA and crowd barrier with a pure-Silk team.

Always one to look forward to, even the rain can't deter the Wellingborough residents from coming down.
