Remko did the sound for Lilac Sheer's 60s tribute gig at our big and acoustically challenging church in Brighton in May - and it was fab. Not too much equipment - so easy on our historic building plus a quick load-out. Flexible too, so Remko could move around the building and tweak the sound to work with our arches and aisles. It was a really happy gig - no grief at all. Which is not always the case! Thank you and do let us know when you fancy another jaunt to Brighton. :-)

Your show was tremendous. You and the girls were brilliant. We would be delighted to welcome you back anytime. I and the entire audience enjoyed it immensely. See you soon!
