Amy's Tour Director Gets A Lunchbox

Audio consultancy and equipment supplier KMR Audio has supplied Michael 'Curly' Jobson, Tour Director for Amy Winehouse among others, with an API Lunchbox with four 512c mic-pre modules and two 550A EQ modules.
The equipment is for his project studio in Gloucestershire where the Amy Winehouse band recently recorded a number of tracks with Michael's son, himself a talented guitarist.
He explained: "My youngest son has his sights set on playing - he is a very good guitar player. I built a studio next to my house and I have been adding to the capabilities of the studio which is now sounding pretty good. I bought the API gear from KMR and they have been very professional and totally committed to my satisfaction. They bend over backwards to please, which is what you want from a supplier. API equipment has been on my wish list for a long time. The pedigree is without equal and it's the name I hear most among colleagues when discussing their gear wishes. The sound is exactly what I want - just so musical and appealing. I love it."
Michael Jobson has spent most of his life in the music business, building a distinguished career first as a guitar tech and second guitarist for seminal English groups like Siouxsie and the Banshees and Echo & The Bunnymen and then as an elite tour manager specialising in handling some of the biggest personalities and toughest clients in the history of rock.
KMR Audio Sales Manager Stefan Pope said: "It's been a pleasure to help Michael with his studio. API is certainly a brand that's very much en vogue at the moment. The fact that it's the top of the list of people of Curly's experience says it all really."
