Buying a stealth microphone in the UK (United Kingdon)

[infoman]

Hi

I am going to rock concerts on Monday & Tuesday and urgently need to get hold of a stealth microphone (i.e. small) that will capture loud sounds. I live in the UK and can't order anything over the internet as it wouldn't arrive in time.

I did order a SP-BMC-2 from sound professionals, on 28 October, thinking that was plenty of time for it to arrive, but unknown to me they only sent it on the 11 November and it still hasn't turn up. It will probably arrive on Wednesday and if so that's to late. If only they had details on whether items were in stock or if your despatch has been delayed. Still none of that is of any use to now.

I did have a Vivanco EM216 but that has never been very good and I currently can't find it. I don't wish to buy another and spend £30 on something that isn't very good.

So if any one has any ideas please post. Even if I have end up having to buy another Vivanco, it would still be a useful debate for other people who live in the UK and don't want to get things delivered from the USA. People don't always want to pay the customs duty, along with the hassle of having to go to the storing office to pay.

I only ordered the SP-BMC-2 mic because a lot of people said it was good for it's price and I wanted to get something other people have used so I can compare recording quality better and improve my own. It will be useful for the future should it ever turn up. However I need it before then.

Thanks
