January’s warm summer nights again see the return of City of Joondalup’s Music in the Park series.

Talented musicians Bobby Alu, Declan Kelly, and Finn Pearson took the stage at Mawson Park, Hillarys for an evening of live music, free children’s activities, and food trucks.

PAV provided an L’acoustic PA system including foldback, a mixture of static and moving head lighting fixtures along with a concert hazer to highlight the light beams, and stage management for the event.

The event received very positive feedback including the best lighting show the client had seen in years.

If you missed this concert, don’t worry, because the City of Joondalup will be holding a second concert at Penistone Park, Greenwood on Saturday, 7 March 2020 featuring the artists below.
