ABOUT

The company

Seventeen years of sound, light and staging out of one workshop in Dzorwulu — and the six people who will be on the phone when your show is the one that matters.

Who we are

We own the kit and we drive it

Vocal started in 2009 with one PA stack, a borrowed van and a beach party at Ada that nearly did not happen. Seventeen years later the stack is a warehouse in Dzorwulu, the van is nine trucks, and the beach party is a three-night festival we still do every year.

What has not changed is the arrangement. We do not broker other people's boxes. Everything we quote is ours, it is serviced in our own workshop between shows, and it arrives with somebody from this building who has driven it before.

The crew

Six people you will actually meet

There are sixty-two names on the book and these six are the ones who will pick up the phone. Everybody else on your show answers to one of them.

Kwabena Asare

Production manager

Runs the board and the budget. If a truck is late, Kwabena already knows and has already rung you about it.

Afia Boateng

Head of sound

Nineteen years behind a desk, from Osu basements to the main stage at Ada. Tunes every system herself before the first line check.

Naa Dedei Lamptey

Lighting designer

Plots every show before the truck loads, so nobody is inventing a look at six o'clock with doors at seven.

Selorm Agbeko

Video & LED lead

Builds the wall, cuts the show and keeps a holding loop ready for the ten minutes nobody plans for.

Kojo Mensah-Bonsu

Rigging & staging lead

Signs off every roof and every motor. Has talked more promoters out of a bigger stage than into one.

Adjoa Nyarko

Crew chief

Books the hands, feeds them and gets them home. The reason our load-outs finish before sunrise.

How we work

Three rules, and we do not bend them

01

One number

The figure we quote at the start is the figure on the invoice. If something changes you hear about it from us on the day it changes, not in a line item afterwards.

02

Two of everything that matters

A spare console, a spare amp rack, a second generator on changeover. Redundancy is the only part of this job worth paying for twice.

03

Site clear by sunrise

The strike is in the price and it is in the schedule. Nobody has ever thanked a production company for still being there at nine in the morning.

400 shows a year, nine trucks, no dark stages.

If the show starts on time, nobody knows we were there. That is the job.

Asked often

Three things people ask about us

Do you work outside Accra?

Anywhere in Ghana, and we have taken the small rig to Lomé and Abidjan. Beyond about three hours from Dzorwulu we build a night of travel into the schedule rather than asking a crew to drive at four in the morning and then rig.

Do you supply crew as well as kit?

Both, and we would rather not split them. Everything on the truck arrives with somebody who has driven it before. If you already have a stage manager we will work to them and put our own on comms beside them.

What is actually in the quote?

Kit, crew, transport, generator fuel and the strike. Not in it: the venue, the artists, catering and anything you add after we have loaded. If the number changes you will hear it from us before it reaches an invoice.
