Latest news (March 2026)
News from HD Sound & Lighting and the local area
We are three months in to 2026 already and it has rained for most of them. We have been busy behind the scenes on many projects in the area. A lot of work has gone in to ‘The 39 Steps‘ rehearsals started in September 2025. At the dress rehearsal on the 24th the theatre invited a few local businesses as well as residents of the local care home who enjoyed their night out.
The show opened on Friday the 27th of February, with a small audience, the first night of the run always seams to be smaller. It’s so safe to say the audience loved it, so much positive feedback.
‘The 39 Steps’ was such a great show to work on, with an amazing cast and crew who worked so hard. Special thanks to Chloe for helping me on the sound & Lighting. She did amazing working on a show with so many audio and lighting cues and even the snow machine! If you would like to be apart of the next show, consider joining, read more here. All the shows take an incredible amount of work and the more hands the easier it is for everyone.
A Second Music Night
The theatre is planning another music night following the successful ‘Beat the Blues’ January event. The next music night has been booked, ‘A Jazzy Music Night’
The next event we have been helping out with is the St Pirans night hosted at St Mary’s Church, Callington. This was the second year of the church putting on something for St Pirans day. Which is something that was missing in Callington’s event calendar This night was another successful event. We provided support with lighting the event, It’s always a pleasure to help the people of St Mary’s Church who are a great bunch of people, who do so much for the community.
Business page
We have also been working on keeping our local business page updated, showcasing all the local businesses in the area. This page is growing so fast, I’ll have to change the format shortly to an easier to navigate layout as the original is getting so full. I completely underestimated how many people wanted to be added. Take a look at the current page.
Repair cafe news
We are still helping out with the repair cafe in Callington. Which is an interesting and useful project for the people of Callington. You never know what items will be making an appearance each month. The cafe is held on the second Saturday of the month from 2-5 at the mustard seed church. The next one being held will be the 11th of April, For more details see here

My most used apps
Some of my favourite & most used apps and software, most of them are free or low cost for full features.
1. Google maps
Google maps has to be the one app that I have had on every phone I have ever had and is used all time. You can’t really fault it. I don’t think it has ever let me down. I did use Waze for a while. But a lot of the Waze feature have moved to Google maps now, I think Google may own Waze now. (I will have to check this)

2. Fing
This is super useful. Fing is a quick way to find devices on your local network. For example you have connected a new device to your home or business network and need a quick way to find the IP address, then use Fing. The most useful thing I use it for is Wake on Lan, super useful to wake up that server remotely from your phone

If you have a website, then you need the Google analytics app for a quick overview of what’s happening with your website. The app is used to see reports from your website such as realtime visitors. The app does not have as much as the web version of analysis but it covers a lot of data you want on the move.

7.Syncthing
This app is so good, I discovered it many years ago. What this does it creates and keeps in sync folders on your devices, it you be different phones, phone and computers. I use it to keep a few folders on my phone in sync with a few folders on my home server.
So for example, I have setup my camera folder on my phone as a synced folder. So when I take a photo on my phone, it is automatically copied and kept in sync with my server. So I can access the photo straight away on my computer via a shared folder on my server. This works both when I am at home and working away from home.
I does take a bit of setting up, but once setup all you have to do is open the app and it does the work for you. Best of all it’s free to use!
Syncthing is a continuous file synchronization program. It synchronizes files between two or more computers in real time, safely protected from prying eyes. Your data is your data alone and you deserve to choose where it is stored, whether it is shared with some third party, and how it’s transmitted over the internet.

Creating a fog cooler for low lying fog effect
Diy Fog cooler
I built this DIY smoke machine / fog cooler, for use at our local theatre, the purpose is to create a low fog that hugs the ground. As when using a standard smoke machine the fog will rise quickly.
The main idea being hot fog goes in one end and the ice cools the fog before leaving the other. This causes the fog to stay low on the ground.
In this design the fog enters on the bottom level, splits to a three way tee, fog travels across this level to another tee, then makes it way up to the next level via a couple of 90 degree bends this is to maximise the time the fog spends in the cooler. The cooled fog then exits into another tee to make an even exit.
What’s needed
I used the following parts to make this:
- 1x plastic tub with lid (big)
- 1x plastic tub with lid (smaller)
- 1x length of Pipe (32mm x 3m) (link)
- 6x Bends 90° 32mmn (link)
- 5x Equal Tees 32mm
- 2x tank connector 32mm
- 2x coupling (32mm) (link)
- 1x Pipe Weld Cement (link)
- 1x fan controller (link)
- 1x 12v pc fan
All that is need to construct is to cut a couple entry holes to the tub, to the size of our chosen tank connector mine is 32mm, the fog will exit this tank connector via a couple 90 degree bends to a meter long section of pipe with a variety of holes cut in it. This is to try it get an even spread of fog. At the end of this section of pipe is an end plug.
For cooling I am using frozen water bottles. I also added a pc fan in the box set on low to encourage the fog to move though the cooler.
I didn’t solvent weld all the connections, as I wanted an easy way to take apart and transport as wanted to to be able to change the setup easily when needed.

Beat the blues – Blu-Soule (photo’s)
Pictures from the night
A selection of photos from the Prim-Raf’s beat the blues night, with music from Blu-Soule who are fantastic. Such a good group of musicians, with the crowd enjoying every moment singing and dancing along. This is the first time that the theatre has hosted live music, and hopefully not the last.
It would be great to see Blu-Soule perform again in the theatre, I have heard that they will be performing again in Callington at Calli-Pizza as a two piece. When I find out the date I will let you know.
The event was a massive success and I hope the theatre continues to bring more music to Callington. To find out more about Blu-Soule check out their Facebook or website.

Hyundai 50.8cc Petrol Grass Trimmer / Brushcutter
My thoughts on the Hyundai HYBC5080AV
i purchased this brush cutter direct from Hyundai, the price is very good especially when you compare it it Stihl. Although the machine feels very capable the included accessories do not.
Included with the machine you have two blades, a line spool, a tool kit, fuel mixing, harness, helmet, and a pair of ear defenders. The blades are really thin and are easily damaged, the line spool although it is tough plastic the included line is so thin you will struggle cutting anything more than grass.
The helmet, ear defenders and harness, all have problems one of the ear muffs fell off with in an hour of use. The harness survived the first job but only just.
On my first job with this machine I was cutting very thick brush than has not been cut for a long time. So went for the tri blade. This worked very well and credit goes to the machine, but this hard work with the included harness was so frustrating. I usually use a Stihl brush cutter with a Stihl harness. Which after a few adjustments makes the work so easy. The Hyundai harness is no comparison you set it up, then while working it comes loose, this harness also struggles to carry weight very well.
Harness
I would recommend getting a better harness if you purchase this machine, the included one is only suitable for small jobs. Even than you will find it soon gets on your nerves.
Blades
The included blades did a good job. But after my first job I have one damaged blade and one very dull blade. Again I would recommand a different set of blades.
Line spool
The included line spool is a bump head and holds 2.5 mm round line, it does work. But snaps very quick. I would recommand getting a better line spool for this machine.
Final thoughts
This petrol Hyundai Brush cutter is an amazing machine but left down with the included accessories, but by swapping out the weak parts makes this an ideal buy. Some other things I like about this machine are the fact that the brush cutter shaft can disconnect in the middle. This will make it handy for anyone who has a small van or even for putting in the car boot. I also like the fact the Hyundai sell spare parts for this machine at a really reasonable price unlike a lot of equipment makes that sting you on spares.
The engine feels solid like the rest of the machine and after using for a few hours, it didn’t miss a beat. It’s the harness that makes the job harder. But I have already address this by getting a Stihl harness that I usually use.
Recommended upgrades
Stihl harness like this one <<LINK>> You will thank me after an hour of working with this harness compared with the one supplied.
Blades I would recommend Oregon blades, I have used these in the past and they really do work very well. They last a long time and will sharpen nicely. For a three point blade I would go for this one <<LINK>> and for a mulching blade I would get this one <<LINK>>
For a upgraded line spool I would this Oregon bump head <<LINK>>, this head takes a maximum line of 4mm with is a massive difference from the included head which takes 2.4mm line as a maximum.

Shout out to stickers international
Thanks goes to stickers international
So much choice at a good price. Check their website and see all the options for yourself. We wanted a good quality labels for our equipment, having looked online at all the people offering labels, we found stickers international. We ordered a sample pack, which arrived very promptly and looked to be of very good quality.
So we started designing our labels using their online design tool, which is something a lot of suppliers do not have. The whole process was very straightforward and all arrived in a good time. We will be definitely be using them again for our next order of stickers.
