What a fabulous little company ! we got let down by someone and desperately needed some speakers for me wedding. These guys were absoloutly brilliant . Rob was a diamond from start to finish, they set it all up with some lights and came back at midnight and took it all away. Couldn't thank them enough

Great speakers and lights for a small party in the garden. Filled the garden with sound and the lights were fantastic. Everything was set up by Carl and we just needed to pick it up, and plug it it. Carl gave us a through walk through of how to connect everything, very simple, and insisted we call if any questions or problems. Great service and value. Will be using them again.

I needed a drum kit on short notice for a gig in Birmingham and I really cannot fault the experience I had with Birmingham Sound Hire. Easily contactable, worked around my schedule and the kit/hardware were all in great condition and sounded brilliant on the night. Really good value for money considering all this and how flexible they were to fit to my schedule. On top of all this, Rob was kind enough to post my driving license back to me after I left it in the shop, free of charge. Very highly recommend!
