My website has an availability calendar so you can easily see if I'm available and send a request to pencil or book me. This calendar is kept up to date in real time. Also on the website is my FULL work history.

I’m a freelance location sound recordist with over twenty years experience working in television and corporate environments: observational documentaries, current affairs, corporate, branded content and commercial productions. Recent credits include: 'The Soldiers that Saved Britain' Cardiff Productions for Channel 4, 'Charlotte Church's Dream Build' Koska for Discovery, 'Grand Designs' Boundless Productions for Channel 4, and 'Gardeners' World' BBC Bristol for BBC Two, amongst many others.

I have bases in Wales and West Midlands and I'm happy to travel elsewhere. My bases are: Cardiff and Cardigan and, if your shoot is more than two days in duration, I can offer a Birmingham base too. Given the choice, I’m particularly interested in working on projects that lean towards any of these end results: educational, ethical, artistic, ‘good-cause’, social change. And I’m particularly interested in working with any of these general areas of subject matter: innovation, sustainability, environment, psychology, philosophy, linguistics, the arts, social history, the natural world, politics. I have an I-VISA (journalist visa for work in the USA), a current public liability insurance policy, a valid passport, a full UK driving license and a basic level of conversational Welsh. As any UK sound recordist should, I have a PMSE license to use radio mic equipment on Ch38 in the UK.

My main kit comprises a Sound Devices 833 eight channel mixer/dual-media recorder. I carry several different microphones for dialogue recording depending on the environment/circumstances and also two handheld, presenter ‘stick mics’. I have seven radio mic kits and Timecode Systems timecode solutions to keep my mixer and multiple cameras in frame-accurate sync all day. I carry a spare mixer in case the unimaginable should happen in the middle of nowhere. Unless otherwise requested, I back up all my recordings, as a matter of course and hand off my SD card with a SAE for ease of return, if it needs to be taken away from location to be backed up.
