Lighting and sound

We use professional audio processing to make the music sound full whilst ensuring it is played at a moderate and comfortable volume; so it is not too loud.

Colourful restored retro disco lights from the 80’s and 90’s transform the school hall into an exciting dance space. Or, we can transform the hall into a nightclub with our array of 15 modern moving head LED disco lights.
