Additional information:
Silver Streak Events (SSE)
I've been interested in Lighting, Sound and Staging of events since a very early age. SSE is a small business setup by myself and a friend. We started off doing mobile discos for family and friends. We now have a range of equipment that we use to provide sound and lighting for Bands, Shows, School performances and events in the local community.

Computing
I have a keen interest in computing. Through school education and self teaching I have learned all about networks, server software and website setup. I host my own website on my own network. Computer technology plays such a big part in the industry and I am trying to expand my knowledge all the time.

Contacts / Following the industry
Since first meeting Richard Gorrod at a concert in 2006 I like to keep up to date with what the major players in the industry are doing, in particular PRG. I've built up quite a list of contacts now and I'm still amazed how Martin Lockett and Richard always take the time to respond and let me know how the latest big event turned out. By reading up on things and viewing footage of events I can pick out and see how specialist equipment has been used for certain effects.
