Ratri Before Navratri 2022
Edwards provided a top quality sound system and an audio engineer to take ‘Ratri Before Navratri 2022’, a two day Hindu dance festival to a new level of professionalism. With live bands, local musicians, and over five thousand attendees, Event Organiser Ravi Maisuria, Managing Director of The Unity Projex, described RBN2022 as the most successful sounding yet.
Ravi was impressed with Edwards from the start, “The team spent a lot of time working through the details with us and as a result really understood our vision. Edwards’ commitment, the sheer size and quality of the gear, and the expertise of Edwards’ audio technician took it up a level over previous years. Having a professional to set up the equipment and run the show made all the difference.”
Feedback from attendees during the event and at the debrief reinforced Ravi’s impression of the value of Edwards’ contribution:
“It was a huge success. The artists and the young audience really appreciated the quality of the audio, the whole event ran smoothly, and the sound just got better and better.”
RBN, an annual event held at the Mahatma Ghandi Centre in Auckland celebrates an auspicious time in the Hindu calendar and is in its eight year, “Indian festivals are spectacular. There are no limits to the extent that people will go to mark a special occasion! I visit India regularly to soak it all up and then support the local Kiwi-Indian community to replicate the colour and extravagance here in Auckland, be it a religious occasion or a family event such as a wedding. I take on the entire production of the event and want efficient subcontractors to work with.”
With Edwards’ ability to deliver Ravi’s vision, his events company The Unity Projex, are now establishing a close relationship with the team and have subsequently used them for four or five events:
“Edwards are cost effective and make everything easy. They are prompt and the service is excellent. I have to give a shout out to Tyler in the hire department for whom nothing is too much trouble.”
