QUOTES

 

“Shure is a globally recognised brand, and along with the global nature of The Chasing Rainbows Tour, this makes them a perfect brand partner. Shure products always perform at the level we expect – and even more so with the extra demands of this tour."

David Spillane - Tour Manager, the Chasing Rainbows 

 

“We’re delighted to have been able to help the band with this incredible achievement. It’s challenging enough to just climb Kilimanjaro but gigging when you reach the summit takes an extra special effort and massive determination. Shure and QSC products are tested to extremes so we were happy to provide the band with microphone, PA and monitoring gear that was up to the task.”

Peter James - Managing Director,  Shure Distribution UK
