Praising the Lord in Montrose. 🙏

Behind the desk this week for Sister Act in Montrose with The Song Shop — where the vocals are heavenly, the harmonies are tight, and we’re making sure every note lands like a hallelujah. 🙌

This show marks The Song Shop’s first show of its kind in 7 years and with a cast of over 40, divine sound deserves some divine reinforcement including…

21 Meyer Sound loudspeakers
20 Sennheiser radio mics
Qlab playback system
DiGiCo control setup

Tickets are still available (but selling fast!) at -

It takes a wide range of people to put a production together. From those working to make sure everyone and everything on stage is safe to those who make sure the audience and performers see and hear everything they need to see and hear, but it all starts way before then. The days, weeks and months prior coordinating between venues, performers and technical teams ensuring they all have everything they need to make the performance memorable for every audience member and Gleadhraich’s 15 year anniversary show at the Gardyne Theatre was no different.

After providing sound at the spectators camping village for one night when The Open made its way to Carnoustie in 2018, AOK Events were asked to provide sound, lighting and staging for seven nights of entertainment for the camping village when it returned to Scotland and St Andrews in 2022 for the 150th round.

There were various musicians and special guests who made their way to the tent during the week as well as some very special events. Highlights included a DJ set from BBC Radio 2’s DJ Spoony, exclusive interviews with some professional golfers sponsored by FootJoy and an intimate inaugural evening of ‘Dough & Co’ with Sky Sports Golf Nick Dougherty and Andrew Coltart.

For the week, AOK spec’d a system comprising of:

DiGiCo S21, D-Rack & Multicore
Meyer Sound X40’s, 750’s & MJF-210’s
Pioneer CDJ’s and DJM
Shure & EMO microphones, wireless microphones & DI boxes
LED lighting & steeldeck.
