Kylie Minogue, Travis, The Strokes and Liberty X are just some of the artists who have recently benefited from the winning touring combination of Van Damme Cable and Capital Sound Hire.

"When you're putting together equipment for a major artist's tour, the three key elements you look for are quality, reliability and flexibility," said Capital Sound Hire's Simon Barron. "Van Damme's Black Tour Grade cable fits all three criteria perfectly, which is why we specify it for just about every tour we handle."

Kylie will be kicking off her latest tour in March at the SECC and ending with seven nights at Earls Court, and Van Damme cable, supplied by VDC Trading, will be ensuring that the show sounds as good on the first night as it does on the last.

"We'll be using Van Damme cable for the whole package - from the line system and stage boxes, through to the mic inputs and returns," Barron added. "Van Damme's Black series is ideal because it has been specially designed to survive the touring environment. Life on the road can be pretty tough on equipment, especially cabling, so you have to be sure that whatever you use is going to withstand a lot of wear and tear."
