I've tried a few different hire places but Audio Forum were by far the best. They're tucked away in an industrial estate (as many of these places are) in Brislington, but are well worth seeking out. First of all, despite the slightly ramshackle look of their premises, they know what they're doing, hiring out gear for clubs and bars all over Bristol. They're also happy to dispense advice and don't cost that much (I hired a glitterball which was bigger than my torso for £15 for the weekend).

Most importantly, I've been let down by other PA hire companies in Bristol and Audio Forum are much more reliable.

If you want something they normally have it!

The staff are friendly and are always able to offer advice on a wide variety of subjects. Unfortunately I have been told the music counter has been removed.

Very disappointed in my experience with Knees. They took money for a product that is not available…read moreor currently being produced as advertised on their website. They cancelled my order because they said the billing address did not match the card address even though it did. Their website is set up so that I was able to pay with a foreign card with options to select from many countries despite them not accepting foreign cards/ addresses. I lost about £150 on the refund as the exchange rate had changed and they could not have cared less.
