The Joy of Sets! The Glamour!!
I have quite often said on the 30th hour of a 12 hour shift I am only in this business for the glamour! The real truth is, I am, well at least partly. I am unashamedly proud of the live events I have been part of and have been lucky enough to witness, a lot […]
The Joy of Sets! Lessons learnt.
For many years I plugged away as a freelance chippie, working ridiculous hours, drinking too much and being paid far too little in comparison to other freelance departments in the events industry. I thought a way around that would be to have my own company. Of course, all those who have done the transition from […]

It’s a long read but the useful links for all countries are here. I have tried only to use official […]

As always this does not include musical touring as some countries have better set ups for that element than temporary work. I am travelling back to the UK […]
The Joy of Sets! “No Singing Waiters!”
I wanted to continue with my wonder through the rest of the countries in Europe, or Fun with Flags as it has been quipped, that I haven’t touched on yet, re temporary working for exhibition installers and other contractors.
