What type?
How big of a PA?

Well I don't consider myself a bottom feeder, I work with the equipment
I have available and can afford to pick and choose what jobs I take.
At my age I ain't gonna invest in a load of new kit. The vast majority
of my work is a residency in a local venue where I`m very happy, private
jobs are a bonus.
