Four things people add late
Backline

Comms & radio
Wired and wireless talkback across stage, FOH, lighting and front of house.
Multitrack capture
Every input recorded to a drive you take home, whether or not anybody asked.
Permits & noise
We write the noise plan and sit in the meeting with the assembly if you want us to.
The running order
Every show we take is the same three days of work in three different registers. This is what you are buying, and it is what we cost.

Asked often
Three things people ask before booking
How far ahead should we book you?
Six weeks for a festival, two for a corporate show, and we keep one rig free every weekend for the call that comes in on Thursday. December is gone by September — that is not a sales line, it is just what the diary does.
Can you meet an artist's rider?
Send it. We will come back within a day with a line-by-line answer: what we hold, what we hire in, and where we would suggest a substitution and why. We would rather argue about a wedge in week one than at line check.
What happens when the power goes?
Nothing, because we never take the grid as the plan. Every outdoor show gets a generator sized for the whole load and a second one on automatic changeover for the console, the comms and the emergency lighting.
