Been gigging regularly for 3 years now and well only been asked for it once before and as we didn't have it the venue turned a blind eye. Now in 3 weeks time got another gig coming up - my lil sisters wedding and her venue has said we need PAT testing and PLI....so, wondering if we can get the PLI just maybe for the day of the wedding just to save a few squids on something that we don't otherwise need. As for the PAT testing I've priced that up locally and a guy can come out to one of our next rehearsals and test our gear @ £66 + VAT for up to 20 items which I'm guessing should be sufficient.
Anyway any advice on the PLI or even PAT testing ??
cheers guys

Join the MU for PLI, you get so much more than just PLI for your money.
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself

It's all BLX. Self-respecting musicians maintain their gear and don't need to be told when something becomes substandard.

So in short you gotta have them but wedding work is quite well paid so it's not a huge hardship .... It's a tax deductible expense as well

Never been asked for PAT or PLI certs playing a gig. Do venues not have PLI anyway? We have to have it at work now as members of the public come in ( public buildings used to be excempt from PLI until relatively recently).
Given the concerning state of the wiring in some pubs being asked for PAT would seem cheeky.
