Supporting Cast
Mark SmithMark Smith is one of the central figures on the Ipswich music scene. He plays drums in loads of bands, is an excellent sound engineer, hires out PA systems for all sizes of occassions, has a mohikan (sadly, no longer pink) and last time I checked, had a girlfriend and was holding down a steady job! As far as we’re concerned, he is the main man and will be providing all the necessary equipment and expertise to ensure stadium-quality sound. His excellent sound engineering skills will make the event run smoothly and ensure our pesky musicians have got nothing to complain about. You never know, the singers may be able to hear themselves! Mark’s contribution to such events has been tried and tested and we can’t think of a better man to do the job. Just give him a beer and leave him to get on with it. |
Paul FeltonPaul hails from a little village in north-east Essex. There's no point naming it, since you won't have heard of it - it's only claim to fame being that Steve Lamacq also grew up there. Paul has a long history in Website Design, which was how he got involved in making this site a reality, working closely with Fehin. He spent seven years running the official Ipswich Town FC Website (the first football website on the internet...) and once licenced one of his creations to Microsoft for use in their UK and German television commercials. Away from watching football and PC's, Paul can be found playing and listening to all kinds of music (except jazz which is just wrong...). You'll be able to see him performing as part of The Usual Suspects at the St Augustine's Festival. |
Fehin QuinFehin Quin is the Belfast genius behind the artwork and graphic design behind the SaF website and promotional posters. He is currently pre-occupied with getting married but his timely input to give the website the look and feel we have achieved cannot be underestimated. What a fine job he has done and what a top bloke he is. Cheers Fehin! |
