"Production" means all sorts of things. I have ten years of live production experience, meaning I have worked as a creative producer, production manager and project manager on all kinds of live events to help deliver them, make them safe, and make them awesome. I've arranged recitals in palaces, community stages in festivals, gala concerts in amazing venues like the Royal Festival Hall, Barbican and The Royal Albert Hall, tiny folk gigs in soho clubs, and everything in between. Some of my recent clients are listed below. If you have a cultural project that you need help bringing to life, get in touch.
I also set up and ran SNAP Entertainment in 2015, which provided live entertainers for corporate and private events. I stopped work in this area in 2020 to focus on the rest of my work in the Arts.
People I work with:
- Serious & The EFG London Jazz Festival: I am currently Creative Producer for Serious. I produce Jazz Voice (the opening gala of the EFG London Jazz Festival) , K-Music Festival, the Jazz FM Awards (which once memorably involved The Rolling Stones rocking up to accept 3 awards in person) and plenty more amazing live music events. I also work on the EFG London Jazz Festival which is a lot of fun and enables me to work with incredible musicians from all backgrounds, not to mention amazing crew, engineers and venue staff.
- London Borough of Waltham Forest. In 2020 I was appointed Creative Producer for Fellowship Square, a new development in Walthamstow. I'm programming and producing a load of events and installations that show off the cultural riches of the borough.
- Culture Mile: I manage various cultural projects such as Musicity, Sound Unbound, and working in local Partner engagement. It's an incredible group of cultural institutions around the Farringdon / Moorgate area including Barbican, LSO, Guildhall, Museum of London and City of London.
- Barbican: I produce and stage manage for Walthamstow Garden Party where I have run the News From Nowhere community stage for 3 years.
- Jazz FM Awards: I've produced the awards for a number of years, including a live stream from Ronnie Scotts during lockdown hosted by Marcus Brigstock. Highlight over the years has been the Rolling Stones showing up in person to accept a few awards in the blues category.
- Ronnie Scotts: I produced the amazing 60th Anniversary Gala in the Royal Albert Hall. You can read all about it and see shiny pictures here, including the end where 60 saxophonists snaked their way around the auditorium as they played.
