In France they call them Roads…

Do you know what event people in France mean when asking for Roads?

Several years ago when dealing the first time with one of our french customers. we were asked to provide roads for a show in Berlin. To be honest, I could imagine what they ment: Roadies of course. But does this term not stand only for all crew that travels with a band or the tour? Yes, in english it means exactly that. So,  I had to go back to our customer asking what he ment with “Roads”. After a few hours and several E-Mails it was clear, they simply ment Site or General Crew. In Germany we normally use the term “Stagehands” for this group of people.

Quite often our customers ask us for organizing “Stagehands” for their Roadshows with stops in several countries. Tour stops from Lisbon to Tokyo. There comes the next task. A French Customer asking for Roads in Lisbon or Tokyo, what is the term for Roads in Lisbon, what in Tokyo? How is business done in these countries, do you have to pay prior, after 10 days, 30 days, does the crew speak english?

Many questions when you are in desperate need of time to organize or design your event.

We at Stagehands.net used the past 20 years to ask these questions, and we found the answers. We understand you and our partners. We dont simply translate, we know what stands behind a term, may it be in Lisbon or in Tokyo. So please be welcome to use us as your project, crew and cultural guide. Save time and money by using local crew organized by Stagehands.net
