UK - Upcoming band Unkle chose a Soundcraft Vi6 digital live sound console provided by Harman Pro UK for their sold-out debut performance at London's 800-capacity Islington Academy on the 5 July.

Following this warm-up show, the band are hitting the worldwide festival circuit and taking the Vi6 with them for a series of concerts and festivals from Croatia to Japan.

The Vi6 is an integral part of Unkle's live sound, recommended for the band by Chris Roberts, a sound engineer with over 20 years experience working with artists ranging from Mel C and Death in Vegas to the Fun Lovin' Criminals. Chris, who also works as a chief front-of-house engineer at the Glastonbury Festival, first put the Vi6 through its paces at London live music venue Koko, while working for The Bluetones. "Harman had installed one there as a house desk and I found it really easy to use," he reports.
