Magnum
supplied PA systems and equipment to a total of 6 Cardiff
venues for the recent 3 day Sŵn festival. The festival
welcomed over 150 acts this year with more visitors than ever
before turning out to enjoy the vast cross-section of music,
culture and industry seminars Sŵn has to offer.
Magnum
engineers were recently enlisted to provide lighting for a
live show by the Welsh comedy and singing legend Max Boyce.
This one-off performance was specially for the Caravan Club’s
national meeting at Pembrey Country Park and was based in
a large marquee.
Another
of the City and County of Swansea Special Events team’s
summer celebrations was the World Party Weekend held at the
National Waterfront Museum in the city. An event designed
to celebrate the multicultural population of the city saw
a hugely diverse range of performances. Traditional Chinese
dance, Samba music and classical Spanish guitar were just
some of the colourful and different acts featured during the
two-day festival.
Magnum
was honoured once again to provide sound and communication
equipment to one of the UK’s largest agricultural shows:
Pembrokeshire Agricultural Society’s Annual Show held
at Withybush Showground, Haverfordwest in West Wales.
Sir
Willard White Headlines Llandeilo Fawr Festival
Magnum
Sound was approached by Llandeilo Festival of Music and Flowers's
organiser Julia Jones to provide sound, lighting and staging
once again for the festival. Magnum has a history of providing
equipment to accommodate artists throughout the week of concerts
but 2009 was to be a particularly special year as the festival
would welcome Sir Willard White, the world famous bass-baritone
singer.

Relays to 70,000 People at Wales Air Show in Swansea
Hosted
for the first time on this scale by The City and County of
Swansea Special Events Team, the Wales Air Show was a two
day event based over a stretch of prom linking the two main
sites of the show. The first site was the Cenotaph to the
west which featured a huge variety of aviation themed stalls,
stands and exhibits while the second site to the east: the
Swansea Civic Centre hosted a fairground, hospitality to the
dignitaries and the main commentator.
Chesney
Hawkes Parties on the Pitch with Magnum Sound
Magnum
recently provided a complete production solution for Party
on The Pitch at Tycroes RFC near Ammanford, South Wales. Chesney
Hawkes headlined the one day festival with music from bands
including The Monophonics and an extremely energetic set from
Fat Barry’s Soul Band. With Magnum providing Stage,
Sound, Lighting and Video in one package, organisers were
free to concentrate on non production issues.
Magnum
recently had the pleasure of supplying the PA system for 3
dates at the same venue for one of Wales’s greatest
exports: The Super Furry Animals. Sub 29 at Cardiff’s
Millennium Plaza was the ideal venue for what was initially
going to be a one-off warm-up gig before the band embarked
on their hectic festival season dates. Ticket demand quickly
transformed the date to two and later three nights, a great
indication of Cardiff’s demand for the band and their
unique and electrifying live performances.
