“Joel is equally professional as he is talented. Having worked alongside him for years with Omeara I can confidently say he would be a great contributor to any team lucky enough to work with him” - Ben Lovett, keyboardist in Mumford & Sons and CEO of venue group

“Before I took the piano stool and became an onstage member of The Unthanks, I used to be our front of house engineer, plus I still produce and mix our records, so I still take a keen interest in our live sound, and have found it hard over the years to just let engineers just get on with it! Joel is the first engineer that I have come to trust fully. I no longer feel the urge to step off the stage and take a listen! It is not just his ears and technical competency that I trust. Joel has exacting high standards of his own. While he does have sufficient experience and knowledge to manage any situation, he has diligence, artistry and confidence beyond his years, and I feel very lucky to have him in our team. Most important to us of all perhaps, he also has the people skills to attentively and respectfully manage the needs of musicians and clients, plus the social and emotional intelligence to survive and thrive on the road.” - Adrian McNally, Manager, Composer, Pianist and Producer for The Unthanks

“As a musician as well as a promoter i won't stand for bad sound at gigs and believe that the artists i book should been given the respect they deserve with a good PA and a good sound engineer. Joel Borkin delivers on both accounts and with love and appreciation of the music to boot. It shows too.. I've seen the look on audience members faces when a concert is shining due to crisp, colourful and detailed sound. Why compromise on the most important thing in a concert?” - Sam Lee, Mercury Prize nominated UK folk artist

“As a seasoned tour manager I know what’s important to make a tour happen or not. Joel Borkin is the kinda guy you want around, not only is he an excellent sound engineer, but he fills the other 23 hours with easy going joy” - George Allen, Anger Management
