The company offered the band the use of its yard in North London to conduct the sound check, enabling them to perform in Covent Garden where they subsequently launched their new album, Wonderland.
Chris Hill, managing director of Wigwam Hire, which is handling sound for the band's forthcoming tour, says: "We were rehearsing at John Henry's for the tour, but when it was decided that the band would play in Covent Garden to launch their new album, we realized we needed somewhere outdoors to test the levels. I called my friends at VDC and they offered to lend us their yard. It worked brilliantly. If it hadn't been for VDC we'd have been stuck."
Niall Holden, VDC's managing director, says: "We were only too pleased to help. The band sounded great and their performance was much appreciated by our staff and the neighbours."
