hello there
My covers band has recently got an agent who has given us 4 gigs in about as many days (woohoo!) but we're all still pretty skint and inexperienced in the big bad world of functions (drummer and me have done about 100 between us but those have always 'turn up, play, go home' affairs). So on to my question, we really need a PA of our own and I want to know what exactly do we need, what can we get away without for the time being (our budget is £1000 but ideally less).
I've looked into a few bundles on DV247 for ideas, do we desperately need a huge sub-woofer right now? or will two decent tops do until we can afford something better? Can we get away with one monitor (or none?!)
help!!

PS I know the ideal would be two tops, two subs, 4 monitors, big digital mixer, a bazillion drum mics and DIs with more buttons and switches than the Deathstar etc but we're currently on a shoestring budget
