"We have always liked the idea of having a Jukebox to store our collection of CD's. It's much easier to simply select the tracks that you want without having to constantly swap discs around, The Gazelle that we chose had extra bubble tubes fitted into the top curves and the colour compliments our furniture perfectly. We would like to thank Chris and the team at Sound Leisure for looking after us so well, I am sure that we are older than their average customer and fully enjoyed the factory tour with Chris and the personal attention that was shown to us right through to the installation of the machine, it is not very often that you find service like this today."

Jamie and Diane's...Through the Window!

Some of our customers have already received their Christmas presents in time for Christmas. One couple in particular went to extraordinary lengths to ensure that the Jukebox of their dreams was placed in the exact position that they wanted. Alan Meats, Sound Leisure’s export manager and Chris Black, M.D of Sound Leisure oversaw the delivery of the machine. The custom built Black Manhattan had ipod docking station and Diamond Pack and looked stunning in Jamie and Diane’s room. Chris commented that he was happy to attempt delivery of the machine as long as if they ever sold the house the Jukebox was part of the deal!

   

Through the Window...The Return. This time with a JCB!

Sound Leisure's Alan Meats took up the gauntlet following his installation in December of Jamie and Diane's Jukebox (see above) to complete another near impossible installation.

Fortunately Alan received a little help from his friends to sneak the Starlite into the house whilst the family visited the dentist. Luckily they had arranged use of a JCB to assist in lifting the jukebox 15ft into the air and safely into the open windows on the first floor. The starlite now has pride of place in the family home.

Daves Isle Of Man Adventure!

I run a small company based in North Wales which hires out jukeboxes for Weddings and Parties.
 
Just before Christmas I received an enquiry from someone on the Isle of Man regarding the hire of a Gazelle machine for a 30th Birthday Party to be held at Douglas Golf Club!
 
Although I explained that I was based in North Wales and the cost of hire would have to include the cost of the ferry, accommodation and fuel costs (before the basic hire charge) the customer was absolutely adamant that they wanted a jukebox at this function.
 
So after agreeing to pay the hire cost and organizing the ferry for my car and my partner and accommodation at a top hotel for two nights (the ferry timings meant it was not possible to just stay 1 night!) we traveled over to IOM by ferry on the Friday, spent Saturday driving all over the island, including driving the TT course (it is a beautiful place especially with no traffic!). We delivered the jukebox to the venue that night, set up and left the party to just enjoy themselves (after generating much interest from the ‘locals’ whilst setting up). 
 
When we returned to collect the machine the party was still in full swing (despite the landlord asking the revellers to ‘make that track the last one’) and after several further songs eventually everyone left having thoroughly enjoyed the party, including Suzy Quattro, Gary Glitter and the Ghostbusters (it was a fancy-dress!)
 
So although we have been to some high profile venues, this weekend trip to the IOM will stand out for some time to come.
 
Cheers
