Concert Sound was formed in 1968, by a small nucleus of people whose express aim was to provide the very best sound, with the highest level of service.
In the beginning, as a smaller sound company, we worked with smaller bands. However, our special relationships with our clients meant that we grew together, becoming Concert Sound Ltd in 1977. In those early years we worked with Dire Straits when they first stopped "busking" on the London Underground, when Tina Turner made her come-back we were chosen for the sound. When Talking Heads first started touring, we toured with them.
Even if you've not heard of Concert Sound Clair, you're sure to know of the live performance reputations of our clients.
Live means live: you don't get a second chance with any part of a performance - or a second chance with a client. Every moment is unique and valuable.
Our attention to detail is recognised worldwide. It means that every spectator, whether at the event (in whatever seat) or via TV, radio or the internet hears perfect sound.
Our reputation for meeting challenging deadlines, making unusual venues sound great and solving complex technical problems has led to our clients devising ever more demanding briefs for live performances - secure in the knowledge that we'll make it happen.
We invest in equipment which we believe to be the best, regardless of cost. We replace equipment only when we consider it to have been improved upon. Nothing is ever bought on the strength of hearsay or hype, every single piece of equipment is evaluated our way.
The artists with whom we have worked are among the world's greatest; the venues in which we have designed and engineered sound systems are some of the toughest acoustically, from Wembley Stadium to the deserts of Mozambique. The scope of performer type illustrates our technical ingenuity and thorough understanding of what makes great sound.
We maintain our engineering staff on a full time basis, and are the only company in the UK to do this on the scale involved. It is our belief that the only thing money can't buy is service, and only experience can give the level of service required and needed today.
