I've written to the festival big boys

I've written to the big players of the festival world - audio rental companies where possible and promoters where not- in order to try and procure some work/work experience over the next few months. I am serious about doing live sound as my actual main source of income, my job, my livelihood. It inspires and motives me, I enjoy it. It is also much less embarrassing to tell people I work in live sound as opposed to what I do now (which is food retail work in case you were wondering).

So in the next few days I'm waiting to see if I get positive, helpful replies or indeed any replies at all. Here are the players involved: Chris Beale Audio Ltd (Glastonbury/Reading & Leeds/Latitude), Metal Camp, Tuska open air, Wacken open air, Jersey music festival, Graspop and Download. Others I didn't try but could consider for later are: Moor music festival, Rock Am ring, Roskilde, etc I know there's many more!
