As I work a lot with bands and live events I have invested in a Martin Audio Blackline PA system. I work with Simon Hanson, a very experienced live engineer. Our PA is available for hire. We like doing sound for interesting gigs. Recent events include the live sound and a recording feed for Grizedale Arts production of Childs Play byRay Davies.

We  work with The Octopus Collective from Barrow-in-Furness. Last year on their Full Of Noises (FON) festival and in March doing  for Ikue Mori & Maja S.K. Ratkje

We have recently started mixing the gigs for Lanternhouse Live.
