EW: investing in the future of UK pro audio
By Jon Chapple
ENTERTAINMENT WORKSHOPS (EW), a charity teaching young people sound engineering, lighting design, video production, photography and other forms of creative media in a framework of nationally accredited qualifications (BTECs and Arts Awards), is seeking to draw pro audio’s attention to its work “building the foundation of your future industry”. The organisation explains: “Manufacturers invest in R&D. The same investment, however, is not made into the most

precious resource this sector has: young people. But that can change with your help.” 80 pupils of secondary school age currently attend an EW course, and business development manager Paul
Byrne describes the effect of the charity on them: “We work here to raise aspiration levels, the young people here all have a ‘ping’ moment where they think: ‘I can do this.’ The foundation of our teaching style is to give the students time and space to develop and grow – that way you end up with the best results.” EW concludes: “So, what can you do to help? Whether it is financial, equipment, a training session? Think about how you could inspire these young people and they’ll think of ways to inspire you further down the line.”

The 2014 SPRING Harvest Festival in Willingen, Hesse, Germany, brought together over 3,000 evangelical Christians from German-speaking Europe for a six-day event featuring more than 300 artists, speakers, and volunteers. The worship was led by Gaetan Roy, director of the Worship Academy in Altensteig,
who this year used Aviom A360 personal mixers for the first time. “With the upgrade to the A360s, SPRING Festival decided to forgo using a monitor mixing console and a monitor engineer, resulting in cost savings for the event,” comments Aviom. The company is an official sponsor of SPRING.
