“Our aim is to ensure touring musicians, performing artists, management, promoters, crew and associates feel totally confident with their hire gear from sound check through to end of gig. I get a real kick out of touring band members mentioning how great our gear is. It’s one of the important reasons why they keep coming back.”

Logistics and staging are integral to our services.
Transportation of equipment is an important aspect of our services. You simply advise the time and place and we’ll have your hire &/or fly gear at the stage or venue ready to unpack, or for an additional charge, we’ll have it set up and ready for your crew and artists to tweak at soundcheck – according to your stage plot of course. Your comfort and confidence is our favourite musical key.
