About the Artist

"Ben Allen is a current and upcoming English guitarist, singer, and songwriter, best known for his work playing covers and taking requests on demand. He is known for his distinctive vocals and guitar playing, which became major factors in his quick rise to local success." Top of the range equipment that's ready to add an atmosphere to any venue!! 2 x Yamaha Stagepas MK 2 1k Speakers (£2000) with an impressive 1000 RMS. "A 1000 RMS (Root Mean Square) amplifier can typically play music loud enough to be heard by a large crowd, potentially hundreds of people, depending on the size and acoustics of the venue and the type of speakers used. " Additionally I can use an electronic "Foot Drum" (Roland SPD One Kick) to get people tapping their feet along, and again to add more to the atmosphere. Taylor Guitars, for the highest guitar sound quality. I use a DAW to mix my vocals, to get the studio sound to your venue. Thanks, Ben
