About me
I graduated from the School of Sound Recording, Manchester, where I have recorded and produced bands and artists of various genres from rock, pop and alternative to classical music. I have comprehensive knowledge of all contemporary studio equipment and major software DAWs including Pro Tools HD systems, Cubase, Logic Pro and Digital Performer with a variety of consoles and hardware. In my position as Media Technician at Ripley St Thomas Academy, Lancaster, I supported staff and students with video editing using Final Cut and know how important sound is for enhancing creative performance.In addition, I am also currently employed at the Winter Gardens, Blackpool, as a sound engineer. I find this exhilarating as no two days are the same and I am always learning. Being part of the stage crew I also help in all areas of production including stage assembly, rigging and operating lighting.
So far, I have been fortunate to work on some prestigious events as part of the stage crew. This has included one night shows including Al Murray, Rhod Gilbert and Peter Kay, magicians' conferences, dance festivals, Britain's Got Talent and touring musicals such as Grease, Starlight Express and Calendar Girls. But the highlight so far has been The Royal Variety Performance of 2009.
I see myself as an all rounder with knowledge of all areas. I have been fortunate enough to attend several courses via the Winter Gardens, which has helped me acquire my PAL card for MEWPS and Harness Awareness & Inspection for Users, as well as attending the three day UK rigging training course for the Entertainment Industry.
