I'm a sound engineer and have been working as a sound engineer since 1978. I've had a really lucky life. I've toured the world and been everywhere imaginable, done the largest and the smallest gigs, worked with the largest and the smallest bands.I still have the raw passion for music that i had all those years back and now i believe I have an intimate understanding of what it takes to get a really good live sound for a band, orchestra, theatre production, club etc. The last few years or so I've been keeping my work local and that means small systems and challenging venues but I love it. I've spent some time getting involved in the local scene working with the likes of Bath Fringe Festival, Pussyfoot Crew and for my sins working on the bandstand at the worlds best music festival.....Glastonbury.

I have also been working closely with Marick (Somebody who actually appreciates my knowledge and experience) of Dragonfly Sound Systems and getting back into the Rock/Heavy Metal scene

Remind you of anywhere in Bath?

MY UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL BIT.

I'm friendly,sincere,thoughtful and thorough. I gain people's trust. I am a people person, someone who interacts naturally and with ease with others. I have an independent nature, but I also feel strongly about maintaining harmony in a relationship. I seek out easygoing, friendly environments. Security and following through on plans are two things that I feel strongly about.Being part of a group of friends is important to me, and I really look out for the people in my life. Many come to me for advice, perhaps because I am methodical in getting to the heart of what's bothering them and i always try to respond with a degree of tact and a positive outlook.

I strive to be accepted and well-liked by my peers. I am motivated by security, freedom of speech and democratic relationships. A happy home life is also important to me. I appreciate sincerity and enjoy the company of people who appreciate my achievements.

I relate well with friends and strangers. I have a knack for both lamenting to others and expressing myself, so people feel comfortable coming to me to talk or to seek advice. I make good first impressions and win people over with my charm and highly infectious enthusiasm. I can be counted on follow through on promises.To me, trust and sincerity are integral parts of a healthy relationship, and I look for these qualities in the people that I meet. I prefer to get to know people in a non-pressurised way, and I like a certain amount of stability, too. I get along best with people who are respectful and encouraging.

I am a casual, friendly, and creative person. I like to spend time with others, and although I have many acquaintances, I truly treasure the friendships of a select few. I consider myself to be a confident and persevering person, although I tries to make sure to take enough time to make big decisions. My friends tell me that people consider me to be dependable and reliable, and that I have a sympathetic nature. I am a good listener, and I think that it's important to encourage positive outlooks in others. I make an effort to avoid disagreements whenever possible, believing that most upsets can be resolved in a friendly way, and I likes to support ham friends and family when they're in need of a hand.

Sincerity is important to me, and I look for this quality in the people that I meet. I get along best with easygoing companions who are mild-mannered and casual in nature. I also believe that a healthy relationship is one that nurtures creativity and encourages expression.

Hey no-ones perfect but it's good to try and be a decent person eh?

Just remember one thing...It's nice to be important but it's more important to be nice


At some point I will put up a list of people whom I have worked with over the many years I have been in this business.

My Interests

I love Music, cooking especially Thai and Mexican, camping, cuddling, travel, footy, (I am a bloke!) cycling, walking, oh yes....................and being very very very silly!

now has come the time to find that someone special in my life.

My friends say i have a big personality and always a laugh to be with, so send me that email and lets start chatting.

..

I'm looking for someone with a good sense of humour, someone who's not to shy and can take charge from time to time.

It would be good if your not hung up about your past, and your ready to move on to more exciting adventures....

I am generally a very quiet and shy person until you get to know me. My close friends say that I am, among other things, spontaneous, intelligent, funny, sensitive, loving and very caring. If they need something, I'll be the first one to rush anywhere for them.
