25 years ago I started out in a small East Durham musical theatre dramatic group. A shy, quiet 17 year old.  Not knowing what I really wanted to do as a job, not many friends and kept myself to myself.  I've worked in IT, repaired water coolers, been a bus driver and in 2017 I went full time into the theatre world and found what I love doing.  3 years ago I left a secure full time job in a venue to go freelance.  This week, I've just completed a dream job.  Working as part of a brilliant lighting and production team programming for Gerry And Sewell for the London West End Premier. 

In the last 12 months I've met so many awesome people, worked on some amazing tour productions, local shows and now the West End. 

Not bad for a shy bairn from the East Coast.

A great team with @tyneaudio providing full PA and @geeky.redhead, Beth Ward stage managing the evening. 

Looking forward to being back in Newcastle next year at the @o2cityhallnewcastle with Carl's brand new show 'Fine Whine'.
