PA Hire ?

Filed Under : Other , Gear

Posted By : CATDOG | Comments : 14

Urgently need a sizeable PA for next Sat - Can anyone help ?

Occasionally our sound engineer gets offered highly paid work - festivals etc , which clashes with our diary. Next Saturday 10th July is one such date that I have been unable to arrange a replacement, SO...

Who has a sizeable PA rig available for next Sat for a Barrow Soccer Bar, or can anyone recommend a decent PA hire company that won`t cost the earth ?
The room is pretty big, holds about 250-300, . Front of house desk required .
All our usual safety nets ( Trig ) are busy gigging, so getting to the point of cancelling unless I can sort something out in the next day or so.

Please help..
Chris

Probably a bit light for these guys, theres 3 of them if you get a big do they are well worth using and their lighting setup is amazing!

What`s their usual fee ? Don`t really need their lights.

Around £300.00 - a bit rich for this occasion i reckon but one to bear in mind for the future maybe!!

Try Trig, (BassBloke), i am sure he does a bit of PA + Lighting Hire.
I can recommend Manchester PA Hire. Speak to mike and tell him Stuart sent you.

Thanks Stuart, Trig has done it for us a few weeks ago, but Dakota are out themselves next Sat, otherwise I would ask him.
