Macaroni Penguins have become the proud owners of a new PA system. We have just purchased a pair of Tapco Thump TH-15A powered speakers. This means that the rather excellent Mackie SRM350 speakers that we have been using for the past few years can now be repurposed as stage monitors, so that when we play we can now hear what the rest of the band is doing. (For better or for worse).We took delivery of them on Friday and on Saturday we tried them out when we played the 2009 Dursley Rugby Club Beer Festival, and judging by the audience reaction they could certainly hear what was going on OK. And so could we, so everyone is happy.
One minor drawback though - according to this promotional video, cat owners might want to refrain from bringing their pets to our future gigs.

Jim, should have got one with an integrated heart rate monitor as well - then you can follow your heart rate when you are on those Scary Scottish ridges.

Hi Mark,
I expect you were trying to comment on this post - (Now) I Know (Where I'm Going) Our Kid - but I'm quite intrigued by the idea of playing a gig through a PA with an integrated heart monitor. Although it might make it too easy for the audience to spot which songs are a bit under-rehearsed (as if they need any more clues ;-).
