As the World of Music, Arts and Dance (WOMAD) prepares to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its first UK festival (July 27-29), with co-founder Peter Gabriel among this year’s headliners, its long-standing audio supplier Ampco Pro Rent (www.apr.nl) is gearing up to provide the sound for all nine venues at WOMAD’s new UK home.
The various venues are served by Synco Europe Network by Martin Audio line array systems, Renkus-Heinz STS systems, exclusive Synco stage monitor systems and an array of consoles headed by the Midas Heritage series.
WOMAD artistic director Thomas Brooman says, “We believe our festival audience will be as enthusiastic about the new, much more rural location as we are, even though there’s a huge technical challenge for us to make a festival of this size work completely successfully in a new place.
