21.01.2022 OK Legends, we need your help. We're wondering if anyone might recognise this fine young man? Earlier today he was wearing a pair of snazzy blue Helly Hansen sh...orts that sell for about $99.99 from Anaconda, $69.99 for club members, or free if you bloody pinch 'em. He'd have a pair big enough to fit a synth down the front of them. Allegedly. Of course, it's possible he was just planning on playing a few notes with his penis and then forgot he'd stuffed the synth down there and left without paying for it, but also possible he's just a thieving POS. Allegedly. We've heard of 'five finger discounts', but this was more a 'single schlong discount'. He must have had balls to stuff this down the front of his shorts in broad daylight, but obviously not that big if there was still enough room down there for a keyboard. If you recognise this tool, we'd really love it if you'd flick us a message so we can follow it up with the po po and get our synth back... probably won't be the highlight of our day disinfecting it, but fair's fair, business has been tough enough without having things walk out the door like this. Thanks people. See more

17.01.2022 We got informed that Woolworth is hiring. Head to any Woolworth with a basic resume and ask for the store manager. Tell them you’re only after temporary work until our industry is getting back on it’s feet, they are more likely to hire you on the spot. Pass this on to anyone you know that is currently out of work due to the shutdown. We hope this will help some of you to stay afloat and get you through the coming weeks/months. Good luck and remember, we're all in this togethe...r so look after each other. Lofty & Christian Support Act: https://supportact.org.au/ I lost my gig: https://ilostmygig.net.au/

09.01.2022 The Victorian Event Industry Needs the State Government's Active SupportA number of us have become increasingly concerned that our industry has been closed for over four months and the Victorian government still has not announced any support for the event industry, and in fact has not even mentioned us.

09.01.2022 In these trying times where everything is uncertain for the next couple of months, if you need help get in contact with Support Act, they will offer help wherever they can. Also, if you can take the time to call three people tomorrow. Talk with them, check in, listen, and ask how they are, offer care, love and encouragement. And ask them to call a couple of their mates and check in. And then do it again the day after and the day after that, we’re in this together and this is ...how we get the family connected. It’s what’s needed right now. Please also take the 5 minutes to go the I lost my gig website and fill out their form. This is the only way for all of us in the entertainment industry to get our voices heard as the government will look at the data supplied in this fight DATA IS KING and it’s critical that all of us fill out this form.

08.01.2022 The version 2.0 of our PodgePlus+ introduces a deeper cut 19mm socket, which makes the socket fit more comfortably over the top of a wing-nut, and reduces the r...isk of the podger slipping off. We have also increased the size of the sockets cutout, which helps to secure the socket. The PodgePlus+ is a 19/24mm Socket Podger, with the ability to tighten a wing-nut. Combining two of the main tools of the Stagehand industry (Podger + Wing-nut spanner) Stop hurting up your hands buy using a wing-nut tool to tighten up clamps... Using only a small amount of leverage, the PodgePlus+ applies an even force to the wing-nut, making snapping the wings off them, a thing of the past. 2x 5mm holes in the handle of the podger - makes for easy installation of a wire, or rope loop to the podger, for attaching lanyards whilst working at heights. CUSTOM ENGRAVING! Our PodgePlus+ is also fully customisable with laser engraving on the handle of the podger... If you're interested: 1) Add the option to 'Add Laser engraving'. 2) Email us or add to the 'Order notes' what text OR logo, you would like on the handle of the podger EMAIL: [email protected] Visit our website: www.touringindustries.com

02.01.2022 Hi all - can you copy and paste the below ( or write your own) to :- [email protected] as apparently they haven't heard that our industry has a problem!... Hi there, I am writing to you on behalf of the live event production industry we have just seen our next 6 months of work legislated out of existence ( with associated fines ) with the ban of over 500 people outside / 100 inside. Whilst we entirely support this move to contain the Covid-19 virus it is putting an entire multi billion dollar sector of the economy to the sword. As well as our brothers and sisters in hospitality / theatre / corporate we need support to avoid 10s of thousands of people on the dole / looking for new work and large numbers of businesses collapsing. There are myriad small businesses and self employed contractors that make up the web that is our industry this industry runs every festival / live music show / sports event etc etc. Please can you consider this make up when making decisions on support.
