Peatbog Faeries at Hellens House Big Barn.


































The first in a series of concerts at Hellens House Big Barn was to be the Peatbog Faeries. With a reputation for being one of the finest live acts in the country we needed to be fully prepared for anything that they could throw at us from a technical perspective. They had their own engineer and he was going to be using his own Digital console. Those of you who have been lucky enough to see the Peatbog Faeries know that they like their Bass, and lots of it, so we sent plenty of subs over, 18.s and 15,s just to be on the safe side. The limiting factor was going to be the power supply as we had over 10K set aside for subs alone. Nevertheless all went well with a packed venue and a great support band in the form of Journeyman from Worcester providing an excellent opening set. The Peatbog Faeries lived up to their reputation as a fantastic live act, and with no complaints from their engineer and compliments from the crowd we were very happy with the sound. Lets  hope they make a return to Hellens before too long, maybe we can use our new Digico console for the next gig.
