Behringer is your friend here. Fine performance, and cost bugger all.

What about their mikes? The only thing significantly under fifty squid on
http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/produc...hure-sm58.html is their
offering, and you get 3 for £33!

I'm sure they wouldn't measure up to an SM58 head-to-head, but for the
sort of money the Shures go for one could have a mixer and enough mikes
to do a couple of vocals and an acoustic simultaneously rather than
multitracked, and if they bork a mic it isn't the end of the world.

And they can buy their own SM58s when they start getting paid for gigs
;-)

There was a mic looking a bit like a '58 in the local pound shop. Quite
heavy, too. I should have bought it just for the hell of it.
The best sounding cheap types are electrets. Often not too good at
handling high SPL, but can sound quite nice at normal levels.
