...sounds amazing

Last night we went to the SUGAR CLUB for the launch of BOSE's new L1 PA SYSTEM ...truth is we went to hear MAJELLA MURPHY perform from her last album 'BRAVE NEW WORLD'.

SEXTON+ project-managed production of the album in Austria (we didn't design it). It was also an excuse to catch-up with (manager) Robert Matthews (he's also behind COIS FHARRAIGE music and surf weekend down in Clare).

So what did we think? Wouldn't often rave about techy stuff but in this case I will. The L1's a slender-designed tower so real discrete on-stage (you'll need two or so depending on your venue). The gear is spot-on for musicians - it'll fit in your boot, it's light-weight and set-up takes a few minutes. (I hear a few 'roadies' getting nervous ...but think what it'll do for young groups lugging around gear? ...handy for corporate environments too.)

Does it sound any good in a large space? Majella Murphy was the right choice to show what the system is made of. Sound-quality in live environments often bugs the hell outta me but Majella sang like she'd spent the day eating honey. She's a great performer anyway so it's not all down to the PA but it did justice for her range. So what about the performer's angle - I caught up with her later (and as always her enthusiasm left me buzzing). The bottom line is she's dying to get her hands on an L1 ...I think that about sums it up!
