Check out Stardes in Sheffield also for splitters etc.

My mate has just hired one from Burnt Tree in Derby. As they are a rental company rather than a band van company it was a damn site cheaper than most of the specialist companies.

Hope this helps.

I'm tied up this week, but if you're stuck in future I'm around - I'm based in Liverpool so probably not cost-effective for one-off shows but if you're stringing a few together drop me a line. Also do FOH and tour management, check out the link in my signature for more info.

And joegarcia - I didn't realise until afterwards but we met the other week! I was driving/teching for Mugstar when they swung through Bristol last month. They mentioned your band name when we were on the way back and the penny dropped. Nice to put a face to the name!

I'll second Monckyman with the Stardes recommendation. Good Yorkshire firm!
