Every year on May 19, National Roadie Day honours the unsung heroes who work tirelessly behind the scenes to help keep the show on the road.
Roadies typically work long hours. They get to their destination, load the equipment into the venue, set up the entire show, and then once its all over, tear everything down and pack it up for transporting on to the next gig.
But not all 'Roadies' enjoy the glitz and glamour of rock and roll.
Spare a thought for the production crews that work in the corporate side of the events industry. No cool bands in front of adoring fans, just corporate suits presenting 'Death by PowerPoint'.

"Another town, another place
Another Girl, Another face,
Another truck, another race,
We are the roadcrew"
Ian 'Lemmy' Kilmister (R.i.P)
