Baker boys and White tree Bands
Generally these bands will be offered to you with a very small PA supplied by the lead singer. If you want the best sound for your audience of 200 + PX be sure to ask for a Glenn Smith Sound system to suit your event! #PAhire #SoundSystemhire #Bakerboys #Bandhire #SubWoofer #soundsystemhire


In House VS Contractor ?
Should you use the Inhouse team or Glenn Smith? There is often a lot of pressure from venues to use the in house supplier. And often they can supply a wide range of AV services for your event that outside suppliers do not have access too. And usually it is expensive! In many cases, and particularly with sound for your entertainment, Glenn Smith can offer a great alternative. Not only are we much more economical, but usually will supply a superior service.

Best Speakers for your Event
What are the best speakers for your event? Well this depends on the size and shape of your room!

Factory Produced or Hand Crafted Speakers

These boxes use loads of 45mm screws, proper slotted joints, 3mm aluminium


Behringer, good or bad?
Is Behringer gear good or bad? This is a very hotly debated question throughout the audio world. I have used a lot of Behringer gear and the answer is yes, and no.
