We were most impressed with the performance venues organised for us - both churches were a joy to sing in. The inspection visit really helped prepare us for the concerts and Nicholas, with his wealth of experience and expertise, ensured that our tour went smoothly. Equity comes highly recommended and I would definitely organise a music tour with them again.
