Ralphie & Bernard - right on. It takes a little practice to get cables to lay in their natural coil, but they don't want to move once properly coiled, and there's no damage to the cables. Once coiled we slip ours into a canvas tool roll (home made) with a pocket for each cable.

Cable discipline is hard to achieve with a band.

You can buy double sided velcro that is useful for cable ties. Black's the worst colour because you lose it after the gig
