The succession of our very first night was amazing. Every thing seemed to go so smoothly. There was no trouble or problems with equipment. So with pubs permission we chose a date in march Friday the 2nd and so we would wait and just play music for our own enjoyment.
We didn't have to wait for long though before people had started to hear about our sound system. While planning the DJs for our own event i received a phone call from a friend involved in the underground music scene in liverpool asking if we would be available to take to the sound system up to their night for payment. Exciting was even a word the news was brilliant and we excepted straight away. The only thing that we needed to do was to build a rack case to fit the amplifiers and crossover in securely and to find transport. The night was booked for the Saturday after our own event so the weekend would be pretty hectic!
So transport.
We decided to ask friends that we knew if they had a van we could use or if they could drive one for us. I contacted various hire companies with in our area to find out the minimum age and cost of a transit van. Unfortunately both me an Rick would be unable to hire and drive a van for the event. A friend of our however, would be so we chose that option instead and booked a van from the Saturday morning to Sunday afternoon. All the cabinets would go up in the van and the rack unit and any fragile parts would come up in the car will me along with some trusty helpers for the heavy lifting.
Above is the flyer designed by Rick ready for the next night.
The research and co-ordination took roughly 2 hours per day for a week.
