Sanchez insists on using JBL at all SchoolDisco.com events. He says it brings out the best of their musical policy which is based on the pop and rock anthems of the 70s, 80s and 90s. The fast forwarding SchoolDisco.com phenomena currently includes a weekly Friday detention slot at the Hanover Grand in central London and regular extra curricular events at Hammersmith Palais (Po Na Na) - utilising their own 4-stack JBL sound system - plus weekly club nights at Manchester Academy and every Saturday at HQ in Dublin.
However, this was the first time that Sanchez had used JBL’s new VerTec line array. It was supplied by Liverpool-based Ad Lib Audio, the 12-a side system kicked arse, and Sanchez was very impressed. He says: "The VerTec sounded absolutely brilliant. It’s a perfect sound for SchoolDisco.com - warm and musical - and we will definitely be using it for our Schoolfields event in the summer."
The system was mixed by Ad Lib Audio’s Dave Kay and Marc Peers. The evening featured numerous DJs, one live slot by an Abba tribute band. The New Year’s Eve SchoolDisco.com event was promoted by SJM Concerts.
