About Me

I'm a Freelance Sound Engineer and Drummer whose memory is shot........what was I saying??? Over the last 10yrs I have worked on numerous gigs and with many artists and bands to date. I'm a bit of a gadget boy or so I'm told. I have traveled extensively throughout the world and experienced some of the most amazing places and people to boot.

My Interests

Partying and Partying and on the rare occasion………….Partying. Feel free to replace “Partying” with the words “Festivals” or “Socialising” or "Proper Coffee" or a mixture of the above. Oh yea I also have a Hi Fi Fetish!! The really bizar thing is that all the above revolve around my work. I also like to kite buggy when ever I can get a chance or the right winds.

I'd like to meet:

Mr Ed the Talking horse!!!!!!! Barney, so I could rip his Purple head off. Ahhh. There is something not right with that person/thing.....whatever it is.

Music:

All Music with an exception to opera and all that country type rubbish and opera. I am the biggest Orb fan ever. I hate opera. Some people would say that I'm a Groove Armada and Faithless fan. I like a lot of guitar based music like Geneva, The Delays, Garbage, Morrissey, Pink Floyd, Iron Maiden, Jimmy Eat World, The Stone Roses, Asian Dub Foundation, Feeder, Ride. Also Trans Global Underground, Bjork, Lisa Loeb, Slovo, Segur Ros, Royskopp, Zero 7, Kinobe, Saint Germain, Spearhead, The Brand New Heavies, Rhombus, Bob Marley, Manu Chao, Dread Zone,The Prodigy, The KLF, Orbital, The Chemical Brothers, Death in Vegas, Lemon Jelly, Dirty Vegas, The Mad Professor, Leftfield, Goldfrapp, Fun lovin Criminals, The Sugar Cubes and so on so forth. Did I say that I detest all Country music?

CGI-CGI-CGI, soooo gooood, Shreik, Monsters Inc. The Lamp, Spirited Away.

Television:

The Discovery channels, South Park, Black Books, The Simpsons, MTV when it was a music channel! They should just call it TV now.

Books:

Not really a book person as such. Sound on sound, Music Tech, Focus, Land Rover Owner not books I know but you still have to read them.

Heroes:

Nico Mac Bain, Dr Alex Paterson, Jamie Catto and Duncan Bridgeman.
