After the trade fair day
Stand parties and client evenings have little run-up time. We open with songs that connect instantly and hold the dance floor to the very end — in front of international audiences too.
The rooms we are configured for in Essen
Essen celebrates in several types of room, and each one calls for a different setup: — Industrial heritage hall: steel, brick, high ceilings — lots of reverb and little damping. We match the setup to the hall in advance rather than improvising at soundcheck. — Trade fair and congress space: modular halls, tight load-in windows between show days, power via the hall service. Scheduled with the organiser in advance. — Grand hotel ballroom: hard surfaces, table conversation comes first. We play controlled and work with in-ear monitoring instead of stage wedges. — Exhibition stand and stand party: limited space, neighbouring stands, fixed level limits — we plan a reduced, volume-controlled line-up. We clarify which type applies in advance with the venue and its in-house technicians — including which system is already on site and what we add. It is in the quote, not in the small print.
