A second time catching David Beckham on set in Autumn 2025, this time with Kevin Hart during their SharkNinja ad campaign (I was recording for Reuters only for this quick-fire sit-down interview, like literally under 10 minutes with them)
I like how when the commercial and socials sound teams met me, they were like ‘oh, another sound person again?’ though we know it can be the common jazz 😆 We all coincidentally were on Wisycom systems, so they very graciously let me use the lav mics already on David and Kevin, and their plotted frequencies when the time came. Screengrabs from APT youtube video.

Learn With The Lords - first time working with my mate Luke Newbold couple of weeks back, where this session was streamed on Youtube.
Luke had already setup and trialed a stream before using most of his kit, so I was left in charge of radio/stick mics gain and coordination settings for the stream, and making them all work on the venue’s console and PA against bouncy acoustics (which thankfully all turned out fine in the end!), while Luke is the head of the cameras and stream.
All went smooth and everyone happy.

An enjoyable day of sound recording for Conor Maynard’s ‘Cherry On Top’, of which is directed by Conor himself, and me being if I’m not wrong the first sound recordist he’s collaborated with.
Capture of a crowd of journalists on a quick makeshift stereo setup, and boom on individual journalist lines. Screenshots from the music video which can be found on Youtube. A shout out to Blanq Media for having me on this one.

Great to see one of my favourites for the 2nd time, Incubus (the first time being in 2008) at a really straight up good gig, nostalgia much to learning to play their songs on guitar in my teenage years. Great they played the whole of ‘Morning View’, and then a handful of their old hits (great they dished out Vitamin).

First concert of 2025, first time (actually, really) in Royal Albert Hall and also first time ever watching Beck with the BBC Concert Orchestra. A really great choice of songs for the accompaniment and special performance all round. Conducted by Troy Miller and with guest Molly Lewis.

Happy New Year to all, but more importantly… for one of my grandma’s birthdays… 1st Jan baby. 93 🤘

Grateful to all the Assistant Sounds I have worked with so far, and I should really give them more of a shout (finding the photos!)
Here we have @liam_cromby_sound as 1AS on a shoot just few weeks back - we’ve been on a few fun and challenging shoots now and it’s always been a pleasure.

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories.

Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
