Sound & Lighting is perhaps the most important aspect to any Tribute Artists show.

Without the finest quality sound and the mood changing atmosphere of 'well thought out lighting plots', a performance can reduce the show to the worst possible customer experience.

The best tribute acts will have invested in both to make sure their show is of the highest quality.

Alternatively, they will use a dedicated 'third party' company to provide the necessary expertise in producing outstanding results.

So, if you want to enter this category or recommend your regular 'third party' supplier for this award, ENTER NOW!
