It's that time of year again when it becomes acceptable for you to cover yourself in fake blood and liquid latex, don a witch's hat, and let kids beg for sweets on your doorstep. Yes, it's Halloween!
What better way to celebrate this spooky occasion than to throw a hell raising party! Here at London Speaker Hire we think that there are three crucial ingredients to making your party perfect.
NUMBER 1
What's a party with naff-sounding music. RUBBISH, that's what. So, check out our Halloween offers here! We've designed some spooky special deals to make your party amazing. These packages include:-
All the extra lights and decoration will bring the best atmosphere for your party! Now all you need is a playlist... check out this Halloween playlist.
NUMBER 2
Guests in fancy dress. OBVIOUSLY! Dig out your costume box or get all Blue Peter and make the scariest outfit you can imagine! Remember, Halloween is a scary festival, so don't dress up as a fire hydrant or a Disney princess... it's just not scary!
NUMBER 3
Food and Drink. It is a party after all... and we're only pretending to be zombies... so we have to eat something other than brains. Luckily, the BBC have saved the day with their collection of fantastic food and drink solutions here!
So make sure your party isn't frightfully bad and sort yourself out with a bone-rattling sound system for your party. Our PA hire Halloween offers are designed to be affordable, yet impressive to make your night stand out. Contact us on 020 3333 4444 to talk to one of our employees now!

This month, London Speaker Hire have been proud sponsors for the new craze in cycling, Parkour Ride.
This event is a new concept for competitive cycling that combines both racing and music in the finest underground venues all around the world, and who better to provide PA hire for the event? Yes, London Speaker Hire.
The event is an elimination-based head to head, with two riders racing down a circuit made from a multi-storey car park. Luckily for the riders the London Speaker Hire Mini is waiting on the roof tops, providing some sweet sounds with its built-in Martin audio rig!
This competition is also believed to be the first official multi-discipline competition, with the riders competing on which ever style bike they choose. The 'weapons' could be road, track, BMX, fixed gear or mountain bikes! The entire day is kitted out with exciting food stalls, bars and spectator attractions too!
This amazing and interesting competition's first ever race was held at Tobacco Dock in London!
The winner of this event also gets £2000 hard cash, so it might be worth dusting off your old bike and entering the next event! After all, it is open to everyone to enter for just £20, but it will be capped at 200 amateur riders so get in quick... it is a race after all!
If you want any more information on the event itself you can visit their official website here! We will hopefully be seeing YOU at the next race!
London Speaker Hire will offer PA hire to any style of event you could imagine! So if you are planning the next big sporting event, maybe a Parkour ride on pogo sticks, or just hosting a Halloween party, contact us for the best deals online on 020 3333 4444.

These days there's no escaping the celebrity pap-shot. Flick through the gossip pages and you'll spy Miley Cyrus or Rihanna, their eyes half-closed, stumbling drunk, or carried, out of some hip club that thinks neon lights equal class. But they’ve got nothing on these legendary musical hellraisers. Here's part one of our Musical Hellraisers series, starting with…
The Rat Pack
Deano, Sammy and Frank. Just say those names and you'll have an image of a tuxedo'd guy with his neck tie undone, glass of whiskey in one hand, cigarette in the other. The Rat Pack has had a number of members over the years, including actors Peter Lawford, David Niven, Judy Garland, Lauren Bacall and original pack leader Humphrey Bogart. But it always comes back to singers Martin, Davis Jr. and Sinatra, the kings of cool during the 1950's and 60's.
Ozzy Osbourne
The Godfather of Heavy Metal, Ozzy Osbourne spent much of his career strung out on dope and booze and was, according to his bandmates, always the last one standing. He even recorded a track called 'Hellraisers', which should tell you something. In later life, he found a new fan-base with the MTV reality show The Osbournes. But his domesticated existence pales in comparison with the mythical status of some of Ozzy's supposed antics biting the heads off of bats, anyone? But true or not, people don't care: it just fits with their idea of the Black Sabbath singer.
The Rolling Stones
Back in the day, if there was a party, it would usually have Mick, Keith and more than one bottle at the centre of it. The legendary singer and lead guitarist of The Stones have openly admitted to dabbling in pretty much every vice from drink and drugs to Marianne Faithful and a Mars Bar if you believe the rumours. Jokes abound about how they're still alive after so much partying, and even Keith Richards wryly expressed disappointment when he was dropped from a list of celebrities most likely to die after ten years at the top spot.
If you want to get your party on, here at London Speaker Hire we can help. Contact us for high-quality party equipment for hire, and try out our new Jagermeister Machine for the full hellraiser effect. As ever though, please drink responsibly - remember, you're not Keith Richards.
