Most of those village halls stagers don’t have the adequate power supply to run a large mobile roadshow or metal band for the Events & Parties, that these town halls put-on, it’s only the college campus & University that really have the correct power supply to cater for every function. So this is how I fix the problem I have made a 75 meter double extension lead in armed screen cable with 2* 32 amp 3 pin IP44 Sockets with Plugs on it. This gives me an extra 64 amps of power to the stage, that’s about 16,000 watts more to play with! That sounds a lot of power but it’s soon consumed, a smoke machine is 3000 watts. I try to wire the extension into the kitchen power supply out the window round the side of the party hall and back into the hall onto the back of the stage. Doing this I can run the sounds and lights of a different wiring circuit. Even if you are running a small PA Systems with some discotheque light affects is always best practice to split up the two power feeds so effects lighting on one and the sound on the other.
