New stretch target
Any extra funding will be used to increase our resilience in future, and to help support our extended network of freelance suppliers who make your events happen
At Clear + Loud we advise on and supply high quality sound systems, backline, lighting, and production for events throughout the North East of England. We speak tech so you don't have to, which means we can offer a hassle free, friendly expert service saving you time and money, and most importantly leaving you to focus on your main event goals.
The global COVID-19 pandemic has created a very uncertain landscape for millions of small businesses, including Clear + Loud.
We have been unable to provide our core services since March 2020 due to UK-wide restrictions on gatherings - affecting everything from weddings, summer festivals, and charity fundraising events, all the way to corporate awards dinners, and even relatively small business meetings and launches.
We have already had a good number of events reschedule into 2021 - but we still have plenty of diary space to add more.
We have designed a variety of packages, based on popular bookings from the previous years - however we are happy to discuss and add bespoke elements, to suit your individual needs.
Thanks to the Crowdfunder platform, we can offer significant discounts for pre-bookings - and all these funds will be used to ensure our financial stability to weather the uncertainty in the coming months.
