UK - Currently celebrating their 30th anniversary, North London-based John Henry's Ltd have constantly kept their equipment inventory at the cutting edge. Specialising in primetime TV productions and artist showcases, late last year JHL purchased their first Soundcraft Vi6 digital console to mark the new BBC series of Strictly Come Dancing.

The purchase was recommended by JHL's general manager (and head of audio) Robert Harding. It proved so successful that it's now incorporated it into the regular control and PA package on the new series of Later ... With Jools Holland (BBC 2) - which now incorporates a live-to-air show, broadcast on Tuesday evening, as well as the regular show that airs on Friday.

While Harding also project manages Later..., it is JHL's Aden Gregory who has started operating the Vi6 on the show. He comments: "We started doing this show back in 1992, and we did The Late Show [its predecessor] before that."
