About Me

Hi I'm BOB WALTERS,I've been passionately involved with music in some form or another for as long as I can remember. I started my music career playing a Flugal Horn in a Valleys Brass Band at the tender age of eight by the time I'd left school I had made it to the glorious heights (It seemed so at the time)of principle Trumpet in the Monmouthshire Youth Symphony Orchestra. During those years Father Christmas presented me with a Sony reel-to-reel Tape recorder and I've been striving to master the ever-changing leaps in tech gear to achieve the best quality music recordings ever since those remarkable Sgt Pepper days. I've played in many bands over the years as a bassist and keyboard player and am currently a guitarist in an inde rock band. For the last ten years of my life I have been lucky to work as a professional sound engineer/ producer and a recent highlight was recording in America at John Keane Studios in Athens (R.E.M., Cowboy Junkies, Indigo Girls)an experience that will stay with me.It's been a blast and I've also been F.O.H sound Engineer for dozens of Americana singer songwriters visiting the UK on short tours passing through Wales ( Eric Taylor, Kate Campbell, Anais Mitchel , Elisa Gilkyson , Rod Picott , Kreg Viesselman , A.J.Roach,Will Kimborough...to mention but a few....great shows) I am currently employed in the UK by an organisation implementing intervention programmes with young offenders in partnership with the probation service , In my spare time I run my own media company (www.bwmultimedia.co.uk) Peace to all my Friends on Myspace and beyond...............lets rock..........
