Will Young Tours UK With Britannia Row and Outline

Multi-million selling British singer-songwriter Will Young has come a long way since winning the very first ‘Pop Idol’ series in 2002.

His debut single, ‘Anything Is Possible’ was released two weeks after his triumph and subsequently became the fastest-selling debut single in UK chart history. His debut album ‘From Now On’ topped the album charts while the follow-up ‘Friday’s Child’ went five-times platinum.

Production for his recent sold-out UK ‘Echoes’ tour was provided by Britannia Row Productions who deployed part of their extensive Outline inventory for the project. The main system comprised an 18 per-side configuration of Butterfly CDH 483 enclosures, with two Mantas 120-degree cabinets underhung as downfills. A dozen Outline Subtech dual 18” subwoofers provided low-frequency reinforcement and the whole system was driven by Outline T Series amplifiers.

System technician Dave Compton said, ‘This system is so modular and light it is perfect for these venues as we can fly lots of boxes from a single point and not have to worry too much about the weight limit. I have used it now for five years and it never fails to impress me'.

FOH engineer Davide Lombardi confirmed ‘It always sounds great - I am using a Digico SD8 and record every night, it's like having a huge near field monitor left and right of the desk. Will is a very articulate singer and it is important that his vocal is clear to everybody, and this system really delivers. It’s also great as far as the band are concerned, we have some of the best musicians available on this tour and I can hear every nuance, as can the audiences. Many of the PA systems I work on simply cannot do this’.
