Battery-powered amplification

[Betty]

Hi,

 

I've got a place on the Fourth Plinth at Trafalgar Square (www.oneandother.co.uk) and I'm going to play my concertina - scared? Me?

 

There isn't any amplification up there, and I'm not sure I'll be able to borrow any. I don't mind buying an amp and mikes as it may well come in handy in the future, but I could do with some advice for what works well with an English concertina. Oh, and not too pricey would be great as well!

 

All feedback positive and negative would be so helpful.

 

Thanks!

 

Betty

Well, you could ask Dave Ball. The gear that he used worked pretty well.

Well done! You even got an encore, I doubt many plinthers get that.

Well done to Betty. I was watching, but the sound went after about 20 minutes, which made life "interesting".

 

Nice selection of photos, LDT. I thought that I had spotted Kay standing behind you near the end of the hour. I trust that you didn't photograph the subsequent artist.
