“ It’s very old-school rock and roll,” says Pab. Monitor engineer John “ Grubby” Callis uses an analog Midas Heritage H3000. The rest of the band opts for Clair R4 sidefills with ML18 subs and SRM wedges.
The stage is fairly loud with only Wixy (musical director/multi-instrumentalist Paul “ Wix” Wickens) wearing IEMs. It delivers great results and is very accurate.” “ I find it very flexible, light, and simple to manage. “ It’s absolutely the PA of choice for me,” said Pab. At the Sydney show indoors at Qudos Bank Arena, Pab had sixteen CO12 L+R, fourteen CO12 LL+RR, twelve CO12 LLL+RRR, six CP218 Subs flown per side, three CP218 Subs per side ground stacked and twelve CO8 for front fill.

Pab’s S6L carries dialed-in snapshots for more than 100 songs. That FOH console was an Avid Venue S6L which Pab has used ever since it was released and he describes it as one of the best consoles on the market. With line checks and system checks as well, I’m probably behind the console twiddling knobs for five hours so it’s quite an extensive day technically.” “ As well as being on stage for three hours, he also does a one hour sound check every day. “ I first started working for him in 1989,” said Pab. FOH engineer Paul Boothroyd – known more commonly in the industry as Pab – has been with Sir Paul for a fair portion of this journey. The show featured nearly three hours’ worth of the greatest moments from the last 50 years of music, dozens of songs that have formed the soundtracks of our lives. Two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, 21-time Grammy Award winner and recipient of The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire Sir Paul McCartney brought his acclaimed long-running One On One Tour to Australia this December, his first Australian tour since 1993’s The New World Tour more than 24 years ago.
