The Festival has included performances from over 60 bands - from established acts such as The Feeling, Suzanne Vega, N*E*R*D and James Blunt to up and comers such as Hadouken! and The Ting Tings.
Stuart Turvill, who runs Bury St. Edmunds-based W1 Productions, says he had planned to upgrade his hire fleet - which already includes a large inventory of Martin Audio components - "but the iTunes Festival provided the trigger, as we needed to move up to a bigger box." And so he purchased 14 of Martin Audio's flagship monitor.
He added, "These have proved very popular and an amazing showcase for the product - largely due to the impressive sound and curved profile. The bands love them."
While all artists performed through Koko's house system W1 Productions, who handle all iTunes European production work, also fielded a Martin Audio W3P/WS18 combination for drum- fills.
W1 Productions' own sound engineers, Alan Hopkinson (at FOH) and Will King (monitors), provided technical support throughout the entire 31 days.
