Event Lighting & Sound Rental | Peak Hire Ltd

Litec truss, Lodestar motors, 20 Martin moving heads, Studio Due CS4′s, 24kw par rig and ETC profiles all controlled by Avolites Pearl 2004.

One of our latest undertakings was the provision of full technical support to the Acevo National Conference at the Novotel London West hotel. Equipment supplied included an EAW 8 box KF730 sound system, profile, stage wash and intelligent lighting, complete projector, screen and camera AV services including 6 breakout rooms, stage set and lecturns and exhibitors area temporary power supplies. Keynote speakers included Mark Thompson, Director General of the BBC and Oliver Letwin MP.

Peak Sound and Light provided Garden Stage and Big Top Stage lighting for this new festival which is held in the Larmer Tree Gardens, near Salisbury. On the bill were Ryan Adams, Badly Drawn Boy and British Sea Power who all shone under lighting design by Stu Petersen and Andy Bartlett and the deployment of our new Studio Due CS4 ACL par arrays. The festival had a fabulous vibe and is set to become a regular firm favourite event. www.endoftheroadfestival.com

We were very pleased to be asked to provide sound, light, video and power solutions to this year’s Gorsley Festival near Ross on Wye in the beautiful Wye Valley. The event runs over 5 days in big top, marquee and indoor venues. Many thanks to Peter Goulding and his technical team for their assistance, and for making us so welcome.

Recently we were very happy to provide our good friends at Rees Sound Systems our Litec PA towers for main stage flown speaker system deployment.

The event was Llanelli Big Day Out and the chosen array was the remarkable EAW KF730 SLAM.

At around 40 kilos per box each 8-hang line was easily within the 600kg load rating of the Litec’s and the brilliant flying arrangement of the EAW meant the job was effective and efficient

We’ve just added this fantastic new Soundcraft MH3 48 Channel Sound Desk to our ever expanding hire stock

The desk had barely been delivered to the warehouse before we put it to good use at the Gloucester Blues Festival. Dan Keating, our foh engineer, was kept busy with a six band line-up and five minute changeovers between acts!

The desk capacity and 8 VCA/mute groups meant the event went smoothly and sounded great, much to the enjoyment of the artists, promoters and audience.

You can see more on the Gloucester Blues site.

For the second time in four months we were back at the Winter Gardens Blackpool. Following on from our success at the AOG Conference, we returned to work with the Methodist Association of Youth Clubs on their Bi-Annual Event “Breakout”.

This isn’t the first time we’ve worked with the MAYC – we helped with the lighting and sound at their 2005 event in Derbyshire, and were delighted to be asked back to work with them again. We provided the equipment for almost all of the rooms at the Winter Gardens, including full lighting, sound and rigging in the Empress Ballroom, as well as turning one of the venues into a theatre for a full stage production, involving truss, drapes, staging, lighting and sound.

For many, their university summer ball will mean great bands, great friends and huge amount of alcohol – but for us it meant a truck load of equipment and the chance to showcase our new PA / Lighting towers.

For the event at Cheltenham Racecourse (a venue we know very well) we provided mainstage lighting as well as projecting the UGSU logo from our giraffe towers at the entrance to the event.

Working with Affinity Events, Peak Sound and Light provided lighting equipment to the Firm Foundations Festival in Hemel Hempstead. Peak have been involved in the event for a number of years providing various items of hire equipment, although this was the first year that the lighting was handled solely by Peak.

With Andy Bartlett on the Avolites Pearl 2004 desk, we provided a variety of moving heads, generic lights and rigging, including our new MAC700s.

The New Peak Sound and Light website is finally here! It’s been nearly 18months in the making, but we’ve finally made it! The site has updated information about the events we have been working on – and we’ve also added some of our equipment to a new fully searchable equipment database.
