Someone wants "PAT certificates for plug-ins" for my jazz orchestra to
perform at a wedding in September in a venue in the City of London. Oh,
and liability insurance for £10m!

I'd expect a phone round of a few electrical firms on Monday would see
this being done for a reasonable price but if you want a more definitive
answer uk.d-i-y is the best place to post...

If you don't know you should not be in business.
Have you always been a stupid ****?

Who are you talking to, me or Tony, you rude little cretin?

If it's me, then I'm not *in business*. I'm a man with a band that is
lucky to play a couple of times a year, and even luckier to get any
money for it, but we happen to have got a gig at a wedding (someone who
happens to be mad on the sort of music we play) at rather prestigious
London venue.

I'm not "in business", and I'm not interested in all this bull**** about
PAT and liability insurance. Like any sane person I have a healthy
disdain for our litigious and insurance-mad society. However, on this
occasion it seems that the venue has a certain view. Interestingly, last
June I played for the very same client who hired the BAFTA club at 195
Piccadilly, and they never asked for any of this nonsense, thankfully.
Perhaps they actually bother to insure themselves properly, as a venue?
