Testimonials
“Shake the Bucket’ are delighted to be associated with Serenityaudio. Danny is a true professional in every way, and has been our sound engineer for many of our gigs over the last ten years. It’s reassuring to know that he’s there, working to create that fantastic sound, both out front to the audience and on stage to the band. It means that we can relax to concentrate on the performance, without having to worry about the sound.”
Peter Williams
“We were all more than happy with the equipment and staff you provided.
The musicians were all very happy with the sound arrangements, and they sounded great. The staff were excellent, very friendly and helpful. They worked with us in setting up the equipment in the most appropriate way, and were generally very accommodating, polite and professional. There was a variety of performers, and your staff adapted and dealt very well with each of them. We had solo vocalists, a choir with keyboard, solo guitar and voice, duos, and groups.
We were very happy with the service your company and staff provided, and we would gladly employ you again.”
Martyn Plant
It was a pleasure to have Danny back in Sutton Benger. This time it was for the firework display which synchronised the fireworks to the music.
Despite difficult weather conditions and 2500 spectators everyone could enjoy the event.
Great job!

“Thank you Danny for your excellent, professional and pleasant service”
Claire Mansfield
“We used Serenity Audio for the sound and lighting at our childrens’ 21/18/16 party five years ago with the setting being a real circus ‘big top’ tent. The show they put on was spectacular. This year they helped do our daughters ‘Masquerade’ 21st birthday party in a marquee. Danny and his crew could not have been more helpful or been easier to work with for both these events and each time Danny has provided exactly what we wanted…. making suggestions and offering alternatives if appropriate but resulting in a brilliant backdrop to both events.
The lighting made all the difference to the occasion, setting the scene and creating the best mood for both the dinner and dancing afterwards. The band were fantastic – with the sound being exactly at the right level, and changing as appropriate. Through out the set up and during the evening itself we felt completely confident in letting Danny and his crew get on with set up, running and take down. They could not have been easier to have around and made it all fun rather than hard work.
I would definitely recommend Serenity Audio for both their ease to work with and professionalism. Thank you for contributing to a very special family event.”
Liddy Hill
“Danny was a pleasure to work with — always calm and attentive in times of need. I would definitely recommend working with Serenityaudio, and we will be hiring them for our audio support needs moving forward!”
Andy Patrick
“Danny has helped us find the perfect solutions for music and speeches at our marquee wedding venue, ensuring there is excellent sound on the dance floor without disturbing our close neighbours. Providing a comprehensive service for each wedding, from liaising with each band or DJ before the event, completing sound checks on the day to removing all equipment promptly. We are most grateful for his expertise and professionalism.”
Kate Bicknell
“Dear Danny,
Many thanks for providing such a professional, first class service with the sound and lighting yet again for us. The children really excelled themselves and gave some wonderful performances.
Have a great summer,

“In 2016 we engaged Serenityaudio with Danny and his team. He designed and installed a wonderful PA system for local bands, choirs and dance groups to perform. He managed the changeovers, sound checks and performance output throughout both days of our event. I have only positive feedback from all our performers and audiences. Without a doubt, the sound was the best outside PA I’ve heard. Danny’s attention to detail is second to none and I wholeheartedly recommend him and Serenityaudio for any event you may be planning”.
Steve Howe
“As a busy, professional working band, the Serenityaudio studio is just what we’ve needed in Chippenham for a long time. It offers a perfect environment for live music rehearsals with drum kit, PA, mics & a few extras all provided upon request. Danny is very accommodating to ensure we get just what we require from our studio time and his communication is second to none.”
Nick Penton
“I worked with Danny for a recent show in the UK. From the moment we arrived I found Danny to be absolutely in control and helpful with everything we needed, listening and suggesting the best way to achieve the sound we wanted. He was incredibly enthusiastic which is always such a great quality and so hard to find. Without hesitation, I would recommend him to anyone looking for sound quality of the highest order”
Mark Geary
“As the project manager of the Sutton Benger Arts Festival, I needed to have for the outdoor music stage someone who I could rely on to provide state of the art sound and lighting for the three concerts we were going to put on over three days. As I had worked with Danny (and his team) in the past, I knew they he would be a safe pair of hands. Through three very different concerts (Electric Folk, Rock and a large jazz band!) he provided consistently excellent front of house sound and superb lighting, together with an excellent monitoring for the bands. I was truly delighted and received many compliments on the quality of sound from the audience. Serenityaudio will be the first supplier on the list for the next festival!”
Phil Llewellyn
“Thank you for providing such a great sound system! So much better than anything we have previously had by far!
Next year we will look at the site plan prior to the event, to hopefully improve it again.
Thank you for all your time and effort, it was much appreciated.”
Christine Everson
“Danny is exceptional in setting up the PA and stage monitoring quickly and keeping the artists happy by mixing the on-stage sound expertly. The audience are also very happy as the sound from the PA is always excellent and suits every type of artists/duos/groups we put on. Thanks very much Danny! Thanks again for the excellent service and contributing massively to a great gig.”
Phil & Helen
“Serenity Audio have never given me anything less than a very professional service. The pre-event consultation, the service delivery and the quality of equipment they use is of a high order. I would not hesitate to recommend Danny and his team and look forward to working with them again.”
Tim Cross
“Very good sound and very well directed. No complaints from the residents at Queens Close”
John Carlyon
“Working with Danny was a great experience. A very professional job, lovely mix on stage and for the audience. Danny has something that personally I think it’s difficult to find in a sound engineer and that’s calmness. It’s important to feel relaxed when doing the sound check and setting up on stage! Highly recommended.”
Julián Segura
“Just once again, I would like to say thank you for all your work you did for us over the weekend. You helped make the event really special.”

Just a quick testimonial to Danny and his team at Serenity Audio. Danny provided a professional and highly experienced service at Vinefest 2023. The sound production, both on at off stage was nothing short of immense. Thanks! -Paul

“Serenityaudio manage the audio and visual streams for our Full Council meetings which are the most important formal Council meetings we run. I have always found them reliable, efficient and experts in their roles. We have had last minute requests and technical issues from our streaming company that they have dealt with professionally and quickly meaning the disruption to the meeting taking place as been minimalised and not noticeable to the senior stakeholders in the room.
They are a pleasure to work with and I would recommend them to anyone.”
Janis Best
Many thanks for all your work in providing the sound and lighting once again for our music cluster concert Danny. You and your team always provide an excellent service which enhances the wonderful performances given by the young musicians. There were a few last minute surprises thrown into the mix this year and your calm and professional attitude was welcome. I’m sure we will be in touch to book you again soon!
Steph Farr
“Serenityaudio responded positively and professionally on every contact, and their delivery of lighting for our high profile corporate event was executed professionally, without hitch, and delivered perfect lighting with extra touches introduced, for that extra special finish. It transformed the room and the aesthetics and experience for all those involved and attending, with wonderful results. We would highly recommend their advice and services.”
Samantha West

Danny is fantastic. Highly recommend.

“Danny at Serenity Audio supplied our small Friend fest in May 2018 with a truly fantastic sound system. The QSC system with dual subwoofers blew everybody away with its clarity and tremendous bass!! My Drum & Bass set sounded incredible. Danny was very easy to deal with and communicated professionally with me during the run up to the festival. He delivered the system bang on time and explained how to set it up clearly. I would have no hesitation in recommending him if you need a PA for a party, wedding or other event.”

“I cannot thank you enough for a wonderful job on Saturday. I very much appreciate a band of fifteen is a challenge under normal circumstances but with the added pressure of it being in a marquee in the middle of a field only grows the complexity exponentially and you certainly rose to the challenge! The sound was wonderfully clear and the lighting fun and perfect for the occasion. Thank you again.”
Mark A Tilley
As a band what we didn’t have B.D. (before Danny!) was clarity and balance of sound- but we do now. What we hear on stage and what our audience hears front of house are in harmony from a sound perspective. That in its self has given us a heap of confidence when we’re performing ‘live’…Danny K is our sound ‘guru’!”
Nigel Bridgen
What can I say ? Amazing a company who cares and goes above and beyond !
I could not have had a better experience!
John Dale
“Just wanted to say that I very much appreciated your calm professionalism and your can-do approach to last minute problems during the sound set-up and checks last Saturday. Then during the performance, I could hear the different instruments clearly while I was singing, which of course helps enormously but doesn’t always happen! Many people in the audience commented that the sound quality was the best they’d heard. Many thanks for helping us to have such a great evening!”

No tenemos sino palabras de agradecimiento por tu trabajo. Imposible celebrar TEDx sin tu apoyo.
Eres un profesional de primera, si no hubieras estado tu en la cabina hubiera sido un desastre.
Gracias por las horas extra el jueves en la noche y por todos los consejos antes y durante el evento.
Estamos en contacto para el año que viene si Dios quiere!
Gran abrazo maestro!

“Danny is a true professional whose friendly and calm reassurance goes a long way in this business! Whenever I have worked with him he’s gone out of his way to ensure that the needs of everyone are met and he’s always willing to go the extra mile to provide the best possible service with the best possible sound.”
Guy Britton
From the word go, Danny and his Serenity Audio team of Oskar and Louis provided us with a top quality service, both in terms of customer relations and in the provision of excellent sound and lighting for our show at The Corn Exchange, Devizes on 29th December 2023.
Polite, pleasant and humourous(!) the team took pains to know our requirements and were very swift and efficient not only in sound-check and the performance, but in setting up and taking down, which helped alleviate any stress as far as we were concerned.
The effect created by their system was dynamic and really helped the overall impact of the show, and there were some great positive comments about it from members of the audience.
It was an absolute pleasure to work with Serenity Audio and we would recommend them whole-heartedly!

Satisfied Repair Customer
“I am a great believer in repairing rather than replacing and I had a very old stereo that sounded great but kept cutting out on me so wanted to keep it going. Danny was excellent, he didn’t quite fix the problem first time round as it was such a fiddly and old piece of kit but he’s tenacious and didn’t give up till he fixed it. I now have a fully working stereo again and its great, I’m loving it. Danny was a very nice man and I would definitely recommend his service to others.”

“When my Peavey Delta Blues amp failed I assumed a valve issue but all looked OK and simple swaps didn’t work. I was about to invest in a complete replacement set of valves when I became aware of Serenityaudio and decided to get it looked at professionally.
I was delighted with the service from Danny at Serenityaudio; there was good communication throughout, the repair was not expensive and the amp was even cleaner when I picked it up than when I took it in. Delighted to know they are there and will be using them again in the future”
John Mackelden
Guitarist
“Discovering Serenity Audio was like striking gold for me. It is so good to find specialists that can fix audio equipment and also offer a huge amount of experience and knowledge. My studio monitors were broken, the warranty had expired and I was facing the possibility of having to send them to Germany to get them repaired. Danny located the issue within the circuit board and ordered and fitted the new part. He took his time ensuring that they were running perfectly before I collected the now faultless speakers. I’m up and running again. I highly recommend this company.”
Will Lawton
Singer-Songwriter and Pianist
“Danny at Serenity Audio was a total star. I had quite a few problems with my Mesa Boogie lonestar. various things had gone wrong and it was a bit of a journey to isolate each problem. but we did it. it was a pleasure to work with someone who obviously knew his stuff. Even going to the extent of tracking down technician friends from Mesa themselves to quiz them on the unique peculiarities of these amps. haven’t had any problems with it since.”

“I came across Serenityaudio whilst looking for someone to modify my Fender amplifier and I am very pleased I did. The work Danny carried out, which included installing a new speaker, replacing the valves and applying a modification kit that included many components, was extremely good and reasonably priced. Furthermore, Danny went the extra mile in contacting suppliers to clarify details of the modification. Everything from the initial contact to the disposal of the old components was professional. The results of Danny’s work are fantastic and I can’t recommend Serenity Audio enough”.

“Ours was a problem of having a coherent conversation in our church cafeteria. The café is of a good size with a high ceiling but a hard floor, brick walls and full-length windows on two sides meant we suffered from severe reverberation. With fifty people in the room, comfortable conversation was almost impossible. Danny recognised our difficulties right away; carried out audio tests; and quantified the problem. He engineered and recommended a solution for us which would have a specified and expected practical improvement. The remedial work was carried out effectively and cleanly and the cafeteria is now able to be used fully and where the re-tested room performance is precisely as the theoretical figures had suggested.”
