JOHNNY NOLAN SOUND ENGINEER / TOUR MANAGER

Over 20 years experience in all aspects of live sound mixing and tour management, from small club and theatre shows to arena and festival tours worldwide. As a musician and multi instrumentalist, I understand music and how it should fit together. It's not about how the Hi Hat sounds, it's always about how the music sounds with me. With my tour managing, I understand the needs of the artist and the needs of a budget and try to bring the two together, while also making tours interesting and comfortable. I'm always looking for the unusual and memorable, out of the ordinary hotels and restaurants, interesting days off, making it all a bit special. There is no need to be uncomfortable, even if the budget is tight. I've been lucky enough to work with many wonderful artists over the years, (and some total stinkers). I shall look forward to working with you all in the future

Johnny Nolan is our first call sound engineer, he makes The Tiger Lillies sound the best they possibly can, both for the audience and on onstage for the band. From the largest concert venues such as the Royal Festival Hall and the Roundhouse to intimate venues with ‘challenging’ systems, we have total confidence that he will get the job done quickly and help us do the best show we can do. He has also organised tours, merchandise and equipment for us and we hope to continue working with him for many years to come.

OLIVIA CHANEY

My experience of this man has been nothing but positive - I'd only met him once when he went well out of his way for me which he definitely did not need to do. this says alot about Johnny As a soundman being a multi-instrumentalist and composer himself he plays the FOH mixing desk as well as any musician up on the stage! A good man Johnny Nolan
