"I personally enjoyed being able to have my wireless be separated into different bands, which made coordination seamless, as well as being able to mix and work with gear that I love. The hospitality given by the company [Adlib] was very warm and accommodating, which also made for a smooth and amazing tour.“

"It was a pleasure working with Adlib on this tour. Their friendly, experienced team ensured even the most challenging days ran smoothly.
