Simply Red FOH Engineer Gary Bradshaw has worked with Britannia Row's X-Line on many occasions in the past; for this outing, the task of satisfying-or, rather, exceeding-his expectations fell to system technicians Alexander Lewin, Stefan Harazd and Paul Wunderlich.
It would appear they succeeded. Certainly the critics were impressed, with Christoph Klemp euphorically declaring: "The sound system was controlled perfectly: every nuance of Chris de Margery's flute and Ian Kirkham's saxophone solos came out crystal-clear above the powerful bass and drums... It was a delight to listen to - from the first row to the last."
