When Serenityaudio’s Danny Kitainik finished prepping his NEXO inventory on July 2nd for a busy weekend of gigs around his base in Chippenham, UK, he could have loaded the truck that evening. But it had been a busy day, the team was well ahead of schedule and the load up could wait until tomorrow.
Within half an hour of arriving home that evening, Danny got a call that a fire had started in the garage premises next door and spread quickly to his unit. His NEXO inventory was a total loss.
“We had bookings for a celebrity cricket match, quickly followed by Biddstock Festival on the weekend and my first thought was that I can’t let my clients down” reports Danny. “But with less that 2 days before the first event, things were looking difficult.”
And that’s when the NEXO of rental partners came to the rescue. Chris Hooke at Swansea-based Total Sound Solutions heard about Danny’s dilemma and spread the news.
“Within 24 hours I had nearly all the NEXO gear I needed from Chris, with NEXO monitors from John Tinline at Encore Sound” says Danny. “I didn’t even have to go and collect anything. And I got offers of help from Robert Nisbet at EPS and others that I didn’t need to call on, but I’m very grateful for, nonetheless.
“All the jobs went perfectly. Chris and the wider NEXO rental community really came through for us and we’re humbled by the offers of help and support from our network of friends and peers. We couldn’t have done it without them.”
