DRIVING YOU CRAZY

SUPPLYING TOURBUSES & TOURING SERVICES TO THE MUSIC INDUSTRY...

About Me

I supply specialist touring & transportation services to the music industry. Also:Tour managing/crew/Backline/pre-production & merchandising Services. Yes I'll drive your bus if you ask me nicely. I'll also tour manage your band AND drive your bus if you'd like me to. I might help you lift your backline in to the venue and then back out on to the bus if you treat me nice.I've got access to over forty top quality splitter buses, ranging from budget ( 60 per day ) to luxury ( 120 per day ). See slideshow below for some examples - Most buses seat 9 including driver, have PLAYSTATION/DVD/Charging points/Nice little tables/comfy seats, and have ample space for backline....In the back. There are also a couple of sleeper/splitters floating about so get in touch if you need transport or other industry related services for a full UK/Europe tour, a few weeks here and there, an airport/hotel run, or a nice little Sunday afternoon jolly in the countryside.Here is a small selection of some of the lovelies I've had the pleasure of driving crazy over the past few years. Some past, some present, and some still keep coming back for more. It's been a rock and rollercoaster ride. I've enjoyed every minute......EAGLES OF DEATH METAL BLONDE REDHEAD ELECTRELANE THE YOUNG REPUBLIC THE KAISER CHIEFS ELBOW THE THRILLS CORNERSHOP TOWERS OF LONDON BOY KILL BOY TWO GALLANTS THE YOUNG KNIVES NEW WORLD RECORD AMY WINEHOUSE CORNERSHOP STEPHEN FRETWELL BADMARSH & SHRI FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND LUKE SLATER THE SEAL CUB CLUBBING CLUB THE MIGHTY BOOSH (CREWBUS) DAMIEN DEMPSEY THE POPES SPEARMINT ENGINEERS BRIGHT BLACK MORNING LIGHT THE KOOKS THE RAKES THE FEELING TRASHLIGHT VISION THE WAKING EYES RALPH MYERZ AND THE JACK HERREN BAND THE LONG BLONDES DR JOHN MIKEY DREAD FOALS LOWLIFE THE BOY LEAST LIKELY TO JOSE GONZALESAnd many more to come....
