We are an enthusiastic team of volunteers. We all hold our normal day jobs and seek to support God's Church through xtol acoustics in our spare time.
The team includes:
|
Mark Wade - The Boss
Mark is a full time RE teacher. He got into PA while touring with a the Christian band Skellig in the 1840s. He was the bass player. Mark is the xtol acoustics leader. Go to him for all bookings.
|
Ian Wallace
Ian is a full time systems engineer for BT. He has toured for ever with As If. We go to him with all our technical problems.... He doesn't solve 'em but he tries !
|
David Reason
Our own home grown talent. We taught him all he knew .... until he went away to study Popular Music and Recording at Salford University and learnt how to do it properly
|
Steve Rushton
Steve works full time doing PA installs in churches. He has been in sound engineering for years ... don't let his youthful good looks fool you.
|
Darren Edmunds
Darren works full time as a systems engineer for the MoD. Beyond that he is our hired thug, using him is our effort to rehabilitate the fallen. Over and above that, he's a great sound technician and has toured for many years with bands like Shine.
|
Geoff Reason
Geoff owns his own headphones. If he is on your gig feed regularly with chocolate and cake. Works with Darren frequently as he is the only member who makes Darren look slim.
|
Daniel Hobbs
Daniel is training to become a qualified electrician. Another home grown talent who has grown way past his teachers. A great ear and willing heart. Married to the boss's daughter!
|
Jon Maude
Jon works with Steve fitting PA systems into Churches. He is planning a career in sound engineering and is developing brilliantly. Shame about the hair.

Liz Reason
Liz is also studying 'A' level Music Technology where she is always correcting her teacher. Another trainee ... we do like to train up the next generation. Wants to be that rare commodity ... a good female sound engineer. (Does anyone know a source of PINK steel toecapped boots?)
|
Daniel Shiells
Dan works full time with a Christian video production company. He is our recording engineer .. you will not believe the stuff in his studio / garage. Also he is the xtol acoustics go-karting champion. Drives his everyday car in a similar fashion.
|
Sammy the Snail
Where would we be without Sammy the Snail? Possibly the best member of the team, certainly the one with the most pulling power!
