Highlights
-
David Stone (Automation Technician)
I first worked with Paddy whilst he was working with me at Disney. He has always worked at a high standard and put the show first, working till the last detail of every show is completed. His experience in pyrotechnics and lighting impressed a lot of other crew, especially when time was short. He has a great sense of humour and a great work ethic, making him a valuable asset to add to any team. -
Robert Newth (Musical Director)
Always positive and focused despite long working days. Was also an excellent followspot operator.
