When the big name American stars came to the UK shores this spring, GLD were on hand to cater for their backstage touring needs.
US legends Bruce Springsteen, The Eagles and Neil Diamond have all been playing to sell-out audiences this year to support their respective comeback albums.

The Eagles kicked off their 'Long Road Out of Eden' world tour in March with concerts in the UK to support their first album of new material since 1979. GLD also toured with them as they travelled across Europe.
The Boss and his E Street Band played 4 stadium gigs - 2 in the new Emirates Stadium - rocking fans to the sound of his greatest hits and newer standards from last year's acclaimed album, 'Magic' - Springsteen's 23rd album, no less.
Neil Diamond currently on tour with his 14 piece band is taking tracks from his new 'Home Before Dark' album - his first to make number 1 on both sides of the Atlantic - across the UK.

Not to be out done by the Americans, some of our home-grown Brit rockers did the concert circuit in May, including Mark Knopfler's 6-date stint at the Royal Albert Hall and Roger Waters performing 'Dark Side of the Moon Live' at dates in Liverpool and London - the last on his mammoth world tour spanning 2 years and 7 legs!

GLD supplied all the furniture for the touring backstage and catering environments.
