See, we don't have DMX controlled lights - or really any lights... That might be a future purchase - but we're just a pub covers band so it might be overkill!!
So I'd probably only need 3 boxes. And actually, some Really Useful Boxes are a decent shout as an alternative to a big ol' Peli Case...
All lifts into the car easy enough. For duo gigs I decant the necessaries into a small toolbag.
There are a lot of good options at B&Q for small money. Fat Max brand is cheap but well designed. Metal fittings are a bit soft but will last if cared for.
And of course they come with a strap so you can carry it on your shoulder

That's it.
Plus points with the gator bags is they have a front pocket. And a mesh compartment inside in the lid section (I keep my XLR Adaptors, Mic’s and tool box in there).
They are also very rugged and well made.
This is the one I use:

One of the best things I ever bought was a small reel of double-sided velcro that works great for cable-tying. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00186QF2C/
