Hi, I’m Elliot Gaspar, a live sound engineer based in Manchester with extensive FOH and monitor experience for bands, DJs, and events in both intimate venues and large halls. I excel at patching, troubleshooting on the fly, and delivering clean, powerful mixes on busy shows using large-format digital desks. I’ve worked with venues such as YES MCR, Matt & Phreds, Bootleg Social, and New Century Hall, engineering for artists including Temples, Yuuf, Gurriers (Manchester Psych Fest), and TTSSFU. I’m passionate about mentoring junior engineers, building smart tech specs and templates for advancing, and I’m keen to grow in lighting and show-management workflows to keep productions running smoothly.
