SOUND RECORDISTS

TIM RAWSON - 07855 960 617 - North Leeds

I've known Tim from when we worked on a very tiring series for UK Style back in 1999. He's a great colleague and friend and loves a good curry!

BILL BARTLETT - 07802 237295 - Leeds

Bill is one of those few people who, no matter what the day brings, always radiates happiness, warmth and fun when you're in his presence. He's a very funny chappie with the most wild sense of humour and I love him to bits!

ANDY FRAZER - 07889 018299 - Manchester

Only worked with Andy once after not seeing him for about 6 years, but definately on my list now.

MARK BROOKE - 07973 326553 - West Yorkshire

Mark and I worked on Heaven & Earth for BBC Manchester. He's a nice, calm guy to work with.

IAN DORRINGTON - 07860 223521 - Huddersfield

Ian always turns up on shoots with an enormous flight case rammed to the gills with spare kit, gadgets and anything else you'd not thought of. His technical experience and knowledge is vast. He always departs leaving a bit of his signature day-glo pink tape somewhere on the camera!

MARTIN SEWERYN - 07976 241476 - Leeds
If ever you need to know anything about the latest gadget or technology, or need a tech problem solving, then Martin is the man with the answer. He is a walking gadget shop and always fascinating to talk to. Oh and he does good sound too!

IAN FAIRBAIRN - 07775 883360 - Huddersfield
Ian previously worked in a London dubbing suite on London's Burning but now enjoys a more relaxed life lovely Yorkshire. I known him for years, spending many days on the road filming for Asda.

MARTIN ROBINSON - 07808 071 851 - Manchester

I don't know many Manchester sound recordists but I'd always think of Martin if I needed a local guy. We worked on a couple of programmes for BBC Manchester, but not seen him for a while.

NIGEL CHATTERS - 07831 482417 - North Leeds

My most memorable moment with Nigel was sat in the boardroom of an abattoir in Manchester eating bacon butties after filming pigs being slaughtered! Thankfully, we've worked on more civilised shoots since then. He's very experienced and a great chap to work with.

CAMERA ASSISTANTS

DEL BYAST - 07761 593981 - Manchester

Del takes the place of Adrian as our regular assistant (see below). He's done a fair bit of work as a loader on films, but prefers the more relaxed atmosphere on smaller video shoots. He's quick-thinking with a great attitude to work.

MARK DEMPSEY - 07930 371 314 - London & UK

I've only used Mark on a job once but he came with good recommendation from a fellow cameraman. He was a really good lad, and one of his little touches was to make sure that all contributors had a glass of water by their side. I think he mainly works on film and is London based, but is happy to travel up north.
