Working in the industry

Freelance pyrotechnician and designer of pyrotechnic firing systems. BPA Level 2 Firer. "Wetter of Young Enthusiast's Fireworks." (Thanks LS&I) I have an engineering background and my main business is running a company which designs and manufactures products for the professional entertainment industries, as well as consulting for a number of other companies. I worked in the broadcast industry for 30 or so years both as a manufacturer and as a broadcaster. I've been involved in the launch of 20 or so satellite TV channels. I've built edit suites, video studios, transmission chains, OB vehicles and audio facilities. I built my first microprocessor board in 1979.

My musical tastes could be described as varied with my CD collection running from 'traditional' classical (Beethoven, Prokofiev) through 'modern' classical (Bruckner, Simpson) through 'dad' rock (Pink Floyd, Genesis) through to dance (Faithless, Chemical Brothers) via pop (Dido, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Lightning Seeds) and rock (Placebo, Doves). In fact almost anything, especially when live (and loud).

My film tastes run to the likes of Leon, Hunt for Red October, Ronin, Alien(s). I don't need a happy ending.

For theatre I prefer smaller, more intimate, productions. I am a great fan of the smaller touring companies.

If you ever want to buy me a meal then my first choice would have to be Indonesian though you'll never go wrong with a good curry. My favourite restaurant is in Amsterdam.
