- 2. Dizzy Blonde Productions A brief overview 2014 This year, we invested in a new FOH system based on the acclaimed RCF HDL-20 line array. Its first outing at Fleurfest in July blew us away with the sound quality. We also added a second Allen & Heath digital mixer to our arsenal in the shape of the QU-24. The QU provides full control of the signal, 24 inputs & more outputs than you can shake a stick at. It also has the flexibility to use conventional XLR multicore or Cat 5 hookups all in a compact easy to manage package. Continuing our relationship with !daft! into 2014 kept us busy with weddings, pub gigs, corporate and outdoor events, including another Blues & Royals dinner in Windsor and another charity Laughing Stock mini festival for John & Linda Jagger. A fantastic Basingstoke Live event this year saw us teaming up with the Eurohire crew once again to work the Amped stage hosted by Jon Lovegrove of Rockbitch promotions. Once again, we also supplied the entire PA for the unplugged stage. Pre-booked by Eurohire for Basingstoke Live 2015. We also had the very great pleasure of working with fashion designer & Im a celebrity star David Emanuel and guests, in support of two very memorable charity events at the Jolly Gardner in Holyport during December. 2013 Continuing our relationship with !daft!, 2013 saw a large number of weddings, pub gigs and some larger events.

The same setup was also used for FleurFest at the Fleur De Lis in Stokenchurch which was another roaring success with around 2000 people attending. Of a number of prestigious events in discussion for Richard Alexander of Ora Productions, the Smooth jazz evening with Peter White at the Calcot Hotel Reading was particularly enjoyable. Yet another great year for Basingstoke Live and our ongoing relationship with Eurohire.
