Tour Manager & Sound Engineer — Jon Courtenay, Britain's Got Talent Winner 2020
When Jon Courtenay — Andrew's lifelong friend — won Britain's Got Talent in 2020, Andrew was asked to join his subsequent UK national tour as Tour Manager, Sound Engineer and Lighting Technician. From setting up lighting rigs to mixing live sound and managing stage cues across venues nationwide, it was the kind of high-pressure, high-profile live event work that sharpens every instinct. That's the experience behind the desk at every Soundcheck event.
"From setting up lighting rigs and mixing live sound to coordinating logistics and managing stage cues — a true collaboration and a privilege to be part of."
— Andrew Lake, Soundcheck AVSWhat we cover

Why choose Soundcheck
The engineer who's
been on stage
Most AV engineers have never performed. Andrew has — as a musician, a compère, a stage manager for world-class artists on the QE2, and Tour Manager for a BGT winner. That changes how he works.
Performer's empathy
Having been on stage himself, Andrew knows what artists, speakers and hosts need to feel confident. He anticipates it — before they have to ask.
One engineer, fully accountable
Andrew quotes, sets up, operates and packs down every event personally. No subcontractors, no handovers, no excuses on the day.
Last-minute bookings welcome
Things change. Andrew is used to working under pressure and will do everything possible to accommodate late or urgent bookings.
Transparent, fixed pricing
No surprises on invoice day. The quote you receive reflects exactly what you'll pay — all day rates, all costs included upfront.
"Absolutely professional on every level! Andrew makes his job look easy, but I've no doubt his years of experience, meticulous planning and easy-going attitude all contribute to this. Thank you for supporting our very 1st conference. I hope our paths cross again soon."
"Soundcheck AVS provided an imaginative solution to support the event we hosted in our Grade I listed building. Andrew's personal attention gave our client confidence and helped make the event a well-received success."
