The appointment follows Steve Badham's move to the position of EAW ASG (Application Support Group) for Europe, replacing James Bamlett, who has moved to Kuala Lumpur to support EAW and Loud Technologies in Asia."
Loud Technologies' Martin Warr says that McMillin's FoH pedigree reads like "a Who's Who of rock and roll". In over three decades of international touring, the last nine of which have been spent with UK rockers, Deep Purple, McMillin has worked with the likes of White Snake, Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Public Image Ltd, and (just to prove that it's not all about the decibels) Suzanne Vega, amongst others. "Moray's expertise in all things live sound is indisputable, and in particular, the experience he has accumulated with EAW systems. I feel that he will be a great benefit to the team," says Warr.
McMillin says. "Having made the decision to retire from touring (and especially tour buses) before they sent me home in a flight case, I am delighted to be working with EAW here in the UK. It's a very natural progression for me, having spent many years touring with various different types of EAW systems, namely KF850, KF750 and most recently the KF760/761 line array. My goals are to try to maximise end-user awareness of the range of EAW products available in what I see as a very tight and competitive market, and to provide our owner network in the UK with the best possible sales and technical support."
