Speth Hughes

About me: 35(!) years of sound engineering, tour managing and production managing for touring bands, events, festivals, corporate and TV – always up for a new challenge, so get in touch! 


I enjoy mixing unusual, challenging acts especially world music, as well as dance / electronic and am quite partial to orchestral mixing (BBC Concert Orchestra,Halle, CBSO, Burt Bacharach etc) . And maybe a pop band or two. I’m most happy at FOH, but sometimes can be tempted to the other end of the multi core…

I’m available for stage crew at Festivals etc and am very corporate friendly. And I smile. A lot.

I have also lectured and been course leader at HND, BTEC and A Level, as well as mentoring and leading workshops in a variety of sound and music production projects.
