Live.
​
At around 15 years of FOH experience, live sound was my first real passion coming out of education, and I still love the buzz of an event going off smoothly, organised chaos.
​
I cut my teeth in local Brighton venues such as Sticky Mike's, The Haunt, and Concorde 2, and then began embarking on tour stints with established artists such as Blue Lab Beats, Poppy Ackroyd, Delta Sleep, Max Rad, Tall Ships, TWST and Jodie Abacus, around the UK, Europe, the US, and festivals, (including Glastonbury, WOMAD, ArcTanGent, 2000 Trees, Love Supreme and The Great Escape)
​
My tour work expanded over time to include Tour Managing, Driving, Merch, and basically figuring out whatever the show needs to go ahead.​
​
I'm also the Production Manager for Small Pond's own shows, such as the various iterations of Bad Pond Festival.
​
And not to brag.. but I'm pretty gifted at equipment Tetris.
Testimonials
​​
“Sam’s tour managing and FOH work for Blue Lab Beats has been 100% brilliant. He is our number one FOH as he always gets the sound on point! He’s always totally on time, reliable and easy to get on with. With advancing information he will leave no stone unturned.”
- Maura, Ferocious Management

“In addition to being a lovely guy to travel with, his experience of tour managing means he understands all aspects of touring, but of course most of all he knows what he is doing with sound. We work with quite an unconventional set up and consequently every show is a bit of an adventure, however we have so far managed to overcome any curve ball that a venue or promoter has thrown at us. We are both perfectionists and Sam will not stop working until everything is working as we want, and we are getting the best out of the equipment we have to hand.”
- Poppy Ackroyd
“Couldn't even imagine playing a show without Sam behind the scenes, his attention to detail is second to none! He even marks out where your pedal boards are supposed to live, blew our tiny little minds!"
- Delta Sleep
“Sam Coveney is a TM FOH Boss! Simple - easy to get on with - cares a lot about clients. Your gig is his gig. Very trustworthy - you could leave your son with him in a festival and he will come back in one piece washed fed and Smiling.”
