I have a small (200 watt) PA system appropriate for venues that seat up to 150 people. I would need a PA system provided for larger events and venues, or I can negotiate renting one if cost is covered by client and at least 30 days notice is given.
A small stage area is necessary - enough to fit me and some speakers.
No lighting is necessary, but I will need power outlets nearby.
