Members Shaster Posted September 3, 2012 Members Share Posted September 3, 2012 I hadn't heard of that company before, but wow, that's a pretty big operation to fail. I guess the bigger they are, the harder they fall. I recently heard a rumour that a large U.S. sound company had been agressively targeting a local soundco, and going after the major regional events. Apparently they were underbidding, almost to the point of giving it away. Because I can't substantiate the info, I won't mention either company's name. Still I wonder if that scenario was part of Groupe Berger's problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bobby1Note Posted September 3, 2012 Members Share Posted September 3, 2012 I've never heard of them Andy, but then again, they're over 3 hours east of where I am. (near Ontario border). There's lots of big shows in that city area, and the surrounding resorts. McCartney did a huge show a while back. Groupe Berger has been in business for 36 years.
