[QUOTE="Craig Basten, post: 6352, member: 1197"] Greetings all, I found out today that I may have the opportunity to act as a production manager and FOH for a small tour in Zambia in summer of 2014. This is pretty exciting, but lots of unknowns for me...my experience is primarily in small-scale regional touring, I have no experience out-of-country. While this is far from a done deal, part of what will get it there is knowing what to expect and some ballpark costs. Since we're obviously not going to ship a rig and backline over from the US, I'll need some resources to start putting together backline, FOH and monitor packages for a 2-3 week engagement. I'd love to get names of production/rental houses you've worked with, who you like, who to avoid. Besides the help with securing gear, anything you can offer in terms of "must-know" info would be most appreciated. Thanks for any advice you can provide. This is a pretty significant step for me personally and professionally, and would like to ensure I take the time to get it right. Craig [/QUOTE]
