Seven Drunken Nights - The Story of The Dubliners back on the Westend last week!

Big thanks to all the audio team - Matt, Adam, Nat & Luca 👌

“The Sound Design was perfection. It can be difficult for touring shows to play in a huge venue
such as this and lighting and sound can sometimes suffer but nothing could be further from the truth
with SEVEN DRUNKEN NIGHTS. There is obviously a team who know exactly what they're doing” - *Pink Prince Theatre Reviews.*

Well done lads! 🍺

“And Sound Design being absolutely perfect. There is a real authenticity to Punk Off! And this is especially true of the music” - *Pink Prince Theatre*

“Lighting & Sound Design both captured the gig atmosphere very well” - *Adventures in Theatreland*

And my personal favourite review of all time …

“Hopefully it’s the last time I hear an audience member say “get your c*ck out” but then again you never know” - *Curtain call reviews*

Thank you to the Punk Off! Cast, Crew & Creatives.
