We’ve had the honour of partnering with Gary Barlow, a globally recognised artist celebrated for his extraordinary musical talent. This collaboration was in support of Barlow’s solo show titled “A Different Stage,” a remarkable production that showcased his versatility and artistry to audiences worldwide. Understanding Barlow’s commitment to delivering stellar performances and the need to safeguard his musical equipment, at Packhorse we tailored bespoke flight cases to ensure the protection and security of his gear throughout the tour.
“A Different Stage” presented unique challenges in terms of equipment transportation and protection. With Barlow’s solo performances spanning various venues, from intimate theatres to expansive arenas, the gear had to withstand diverse environmental conditions and handling procedures. Moreover, the intricate nature of musical instruments required specialised solutions to mitigate risks associated with impacts, vibrations, and fluctuations in temperature and humidity.
We collaborated closely with Gary Barlow and his team to assess the specific requirements of “A Different Stage.” Drawing upon our expertise in flight case design and manufacturing, we engineered custom solutions tailored to accommodate Barlow’s instruments, audio equipment, and stage accessories. These flight cases were meticulously crafted using premium materials such as reinforced aluminium and shock-absorbing foam padding, ensuring maximum protection while maintaining portability and ease of handling.

By entrusting his valuable equipment to our Packhorse’s bespoke flight cases, Barlow could focus on delivering captivating performances without worrying about equipment safety.
