I sound engineered for a Take That Tribute act and Alfie (Robbie) recommended me to his friend Rach for her wedding.
Nat saw me DJ and asked me to DJ her wedding.
He told me I need more height.
I love weddings where after the wedding breakfast the curtain goes back and I can start playing music straight away.

I love this photo. Such a lively bunch.
Which they recommended me for.
Here we are at Rebecca's sisters wedding at Court Coleman Manor in South-West Wales.
They first saw me DJ at Jo and Mark's wedding at Tatton Park (no photo's) and then booked me for theirs.
Full disclosure. Ed(far left) and Rebecca(Centre-bridesmaid) are friends of mine.
Jo and Mark's + Rebecca and Ed's wedding also led to Nick's first wedding, at Prestwold Hall in Leicestershire.

It was a co-incidence that they both booked me, but it was great to catch up with the newlyweds. Also, it was great to hear their friends take on their musical style as we discussed music at the pre-wedding meeting.
Moi.
...so long as him or Beckie don't see this photo.
I've been involved with the Summer Schools dating back to when I was at University and playing at the Hall's Fresher's events, Formal Balls and nights in between.
They were amazing nights, first year of uni, is an important time...
This girls hair is going up.
Which took place at Victoria and Albert (Manchester)
I have different equipment now, but it is shown here blending into the room - that's still the aim.
...recommended me for his friends wedding....
I've been friends with Michael since I started Sound engineering for his band years ago. I played his wedding and his wife recommended me to her college Nikki.
Ps. I am awesome. I love that T-Shirt
At the end of the nigth.
I went to college with Helen, it was great to see her again.
Tina and Stu wrapped around Helen.
I can't take all the credit for it. It just a joint effort- as it should be.
...for seven of the last eight years. Only missing one year because I was working on a feature film in Newcastle - as a Sound Recordist with Joanne Froggatt.as the lead actress. She won an award at the London International Film Festival and the film did at the Montréal World Film Festival.
