14+ YEARS ACROSS EVERYTHING.

Ever since I was in charge of the Keyboard channels at a church in the early 2000’s I’ve been working gigs. I did my time pulling feeder and setting up stage and drape on at 5am, I’ve driven trucks and forklifts, rigged motors and even rowed the FOH cable across a moat. I’ve managed crews, mixed FOH from the MONS position, directed cameras, programmed lights, designed CAD plans and everything in between.

A bit of a Jack of all trades, but these days I try limit myself to audio, which we all know, is the best department. Well, catering, then audio.

Competent and experienced in Flying D&B and L’Acoustics PA systems, Sytem teching D&B, pushing faders on Digico, SSL, Avid and Midas consoles, even if i haven’t touch the hardware before I’m quickly able to pickup new systems. I’ve completed training with d&b and L’Acoustics systems, lost count of the times I’ve opened up Midas Pro series consoles (IYKYK), grumbled at a Lake processor not communicating, and soldered cables while up a man lift, not to mention I have a great patch template.

Coming from NZ where everyone wears at least two hats, it’s rare I won’t get stuck into flying a PA before moving to another role, or vice versa. Here’s some photos of recent shows:

I’m well known for being a fun, friendly and hardworking technician. I’ll happily slot into any role required of me at either end of the snake, as well as filling any leadership or “whose calling the truck” voids to ensure we all go home safely and quickly.

I can’t see myself doing anything other than gigs. Beer didn’t taste as good after an 8 hour day in IT, the side hustles purposely kept on the side, falling asleep with 12 people on a bus isn’t difficult. We’re all glutton for punishment, but there’s something special seeing the a gig come to life. The haze of no sleep and a rough schedule vanishes knowing Doors open at 7 no matter what, Show at 8, and when the house lights go down and the crowd roar, we’re only just getting started. Are we crazy? Guess that’s what we live for. And free merch. And Catering.

“Turns out you’re not s***”

— Affectionate long term client

“Great mix Brian”

— Artist I’ve worked with many times, who still doesn’t know my name

“He’s doing a good job, whatever he’s doing”

— MC, mid show, whilst I troubleshoot the presenter supplied laptop live demo running on venue public wifi
