From a management point of view Tour Concepts is all you need. We gave them the dates/details of the tour and everything else was taken care of.

Everything we have ever given them to do has been dealt with in the most efficient manner possible and all within budget!

Andy is a pleasure to work with.”

“I used Andy and Tour Concepts for the first time late last year for a new band I manage, called Pitty Sing.

Andy’s attention to detail, sound engineering talent and overall work ethic was all outstanding. Having managed for nearly 20 years now and having clients such as the band Living Colour, Semisonic and Teenage Fanclub, I can safely say that Andy and Tour Concepts are the best I’ve worked with.

You can’t go wrong with him…”
