Tony Blanc
A carear that spanned forty-five years in the music industry as an​
Independent Sound Engineer ​
​
Every show I ever worked, my heart always skipped a beat as the house lights went out and it was show time. Being part of a team that left life time memories in the audiences hearts has been my vocation, my life and love. ​It has been an amazing road to have travelled.
​
My road started in the summer of 1977 when I was interviewed by Mick and his brother David “Willie” Williams, to be the second and third man in their newly created sound company, “Williams Brothers”.
My first tour was with Gyphon, which proved to be the band's last. Williams Brothers pushed ahead to become a highly regarded small company servicing the exploding London Music scene.
1978 I was hired out to “Marshall Hain” for a European/UK tour.
1979 Willie moved into logistics while Chris Wade Evans and myself created a niche for ourselves, a future, and passion for our craft.​
​
Never lost that passion in the. forty plus years that followed, and thank you always Paul “Pab” Boothroyd for the graceful way I was blessed to be able to close the curtain.
