Live Sound experience at Oran Mor venue n Oran Mor, which incidentally is Gaelic for “great melody of life” or “big song” is a thriving arts and entertainment venue in the heart of Glasgow’s West End that provided SAE Institute audio stu- dents Gerry Burns and Sergiusz Sytniejewski with the opportunity to participate in a live sound work experience session. Hailed as one of the top venues in Glasgow, the former Kelvinside Parish Church runs a multitude of theatre performances as well as high profile gigs from artists throughout the world. Led by Oran Mor house engineer, Gerry, a sec- ond year degree student and Sergiusz a diploma student, were given a tour and detailed explana- tion of how the equipment is set up and operated. Following the sound check, they were given some professional tips and tricks for mixing live on the FOH desk as well as some very important do’s and don’ts to remember. n GlasgowCampusNews Oran Mor +++ SAE Institute Glasgow Sponsors Scottish Education Award +++ RockNess 2012 – a Monster Festival +++ Live Sound experience at Oran Mor venue +++ SAE Institute Glasgow +++ SAE Institute Glasgow Sponsors Scottish Education Award +++ RockNess 2012 – a Monster Festival +++ Live Sound experience at Oran Mor venue +++ SAE Institute Glasgow Sponsors Scottish Education Award +++ RockNess 2012 – a Monster Fes- Winners, pupils Eilidh MacMillan and Emily Logan with teacher Jo Clark, head Maureen MacDonald, Joyce McRae and SAE Glasgow Campus Manager Tommy Wylie SAE Institute Glasgow Sponsors Scottish Education Award n Scotland’s best schools, teachers and pupils were rewarded for their efforts at this year’s Scottish Edu- cation Awards 2012 ceremony held at Glasgow’s Hil- ton Hotel.
