Lil’ Nashville – Chiswick

When Robert approached us with his vision for Lil’ Nashville, a lively Honky-Tonk Bar in Chiswick, we knew immediately that our installation expertise could bring his dream to life. This exciting establishment celebrates all things country, offering an authentic Southern BBQ experience, showcasing some of the UK’s top country music talent, and hosting vibrant line dancing events.

Following a competitive bidding process, we were tasked with designing, supplying, and installing a complete audio visual solution for the 350-capacity restaurant and live music venue.

The PA system consists of Martin Audio’s CDD products, driven by Powersoft’s Quattrocanali amplifiers with Atlas IED processing. This ensures an audio system that’s perfect for live music, with the ability to switch into a background music system through Atlas IED’s wall panel. To complement the PA system, a live production and backline package was provided, consisting of an Allen & Heath SQ5 with an AR2412 stage box, a selection of industry-standard Sennheiser and Shure microphones, Yamaha Stage Custom drum kit and Ampeg and Fender amps. This ensures they can cater for the vast majority of artists coming through their venue.

The stage lighting system was designed to be intuitive and easy to operate, without the need for a lighting engineer. With a selection of fixtures from Chauvet Professional and Look Solutions Unique 2.1 Haze machine, we pre-programmed a number of scenes and chases accessed through a touch-screen PC.

The ultra-short-throw 5,000 lumen Epson EB-815E projector was installed on the stage and paired with a motorised projector screen, allowing the venue to screen video content when required. Samsung commercial displays and Blustream HDBaseT extenders were specified to pipe video to other parts of the building.
