I've just found my Paul Oakenfold travel alarm clock, sent by Perfecto Records when the "Travelling" mix was released in 2000, 2001 perhaps? Funny how times change - I wonder how many people use a travel alarm clock in 2021? I think I'll sort the battery and keep this on my desk.

It has been a very busy day producing radio commercials... and keeping an eye on the cricket on that monitor over there! #audio #audioproduction #AdobeAudition #audioproducer #cricket #T20WorldCup #ENGvSL #skysports

I was at a wedding evening do on Saturday, paying attention to how the DJ read the room and kept people dancing. In a recent episode of #BeforeTheBarOpens #podcast, David Green explains how he does this. Hear this and his funny stories: beforethebaropens.com/david-green.ht… #WeddingDJ #music

Today I took time away from the screen and met a friend, who I'd not seen in a long time, for lunch. It was great to catch up about radio and advertising, in which we both work, but also just to meet and chat. Lunch came with a view as well. Make time for a break if you can.

"It's quite an interesting concept to know that you're going to go to a precinct and completely change it". In this episode of #BeforeTheBarOpens #music #podcast, Rob Gray talks about his 'one man band' #busking life. beforethebaropens.com/rob-gray.html #busker #onemanband

Sometimes I do have concerns about the projects Emma Clarke ropes me into! This one is very silly. But I've had a right laugh editing it. All based on voiceover direction sent to Emma. Coming soon! #DodgyVoiceoverDirection #podcast #voiceover

For a few minutes of silliness, check out the #DodgyVoiceoverDirection #podcast. You can enjoy whilst you're eating a sausage sandwich*. *that makes more sense after you've heard episode 1.

Reminds me of my days working at Radio Forth - can't believe it is 12 years since I left Edinburgh. I have lots of good memories from the radio station and the city. The big wheel has brilliant views. Luckily I took the ride before the wind got up and they had to close.

In today’s #BeforeTheBarOpens ‘bonus episode’ #music #podcast, Emma Clarke talks us through the creative process behind her piece for chamber brass & violin, "Moonflower". It is a huge step for Emma, as making her music public is accompanied with anxiety. bit.ly/327rYnL

When you ask Beats Bakery Production Music for a desk notepad and you end up with all this merchandise and chocolate! That's me sorted for a while then 👍🏻 #productionmusic #merchandise #audioproducer

Happy new year! After a few days exploring the outdoors, it is back to work for me. Feel free to get in touch should you have any audio production projects.

Whilst prepping "Before The Bar Opens" #music #podcast Season 2, I listened to the Season 1 montage, reminding me of the great guests Emma Clarke spoke to. More episodes to come very soon! For a flavour of the podcast, check out this short bonus episode: bit.ly/3q2QhME

Ahead of Before The Bar Opens' second season, here's a short recap on the amazing guests Emma Clarke spoke to in the first season: youtu.be/5A2Kiu9vJhw Editing this podcast continues to be a fascinating job for me, learning about peoples relationships with music.

This popped up today from 2016: bit.ly/3AETJk9. Sometimes it is fun to do something completely different to the brief. It never went to air, but I'm a creative producer and I needed a laugh. Thanks to Josh Shirt for making up some of the script as he voiced it.

I'd like to share 2 podcasts I produced for Emma Clarke. Before The Bar Opens Season 2 begins with Tony Nixon's interesting chat about music's importance in radio programming. Then Tushar Joshi discusses challenges setting up a music festival. More at: beforethebaropens.com

On John Williams' 90th birthday, what a celebration by listening to a live symphony orchestra play his Star Wars Return of the Jedi soundtrack whilst the film was simultaneously shown. #orchestra #symphonyorchestra #johnwilliams #composer #soundtrack #starwars #returnofthejedi

I'm hardly on here, so I'm checking in to say hi with a picture of some imaging I've been working on (pretty pointless as you can't hear it) and my Friday beer. Have a nice weekend! #audio #audioproduction #AdobeAudition #audioproducer #voiceover #imaging #radioimaging

I'm really impressed with the sound design on this teaser trailer. Well done! Andor | Teaser Trailer | Disney+ youtu.be/j5UX1Adanis
