Other Skills & Assets |
|
Other Interests |
|
|
|
 |
I am a
keen musician, and play jazz/blues/lounge piano and pipe organ by ear;
the piano accordian; and I am experimenting with using Ableton as an
instrument. |
 |
I have a good speaking voice, and have provided vocal services for BBC programmes a number of times. |
 |
I am very interested
in developments in internet-based media, and am involved in a project
exploring the future potential of audiobooks. |
 |
I have a good working
knowledge of Adobe Photoshop, and have produced some passable graphic
design. This website was designed and assembled by myself. |
 |
I am conversant with
both Microsoft Windows and Mac OS, and have considerable experience
with popular office packages such as MS Office and OpenOffice. |
 |
Like many people who
started out in fringe theatre, I am an experienced bartender, having
worked in both cocktail bars and pubs. |
|
|
 |
I have a
wide and diverse taste in music, only really disliking R&B (and
there are exceptions) and anything above 135bpm. Specifically, I love:
Nick Cave; Tori Amos; Classic & Progressive Rock & Pop
(Genesis, The Who, Don Henley); Folk in the English tradition (Tim Van
Eyken, especially); Progressive Breaks; Classical, particularly choral
pieces from the Renaissance period, and Elgar, Holst, Vaughn-Williams.
I listen to a lot of BBC Radio 3. |
 |
 |
I am an avid sailor on the East Coast of England, and part-own a small classic yacht based there. |
|
I have a wide
general knowledge, and am deeply interested in history (particular 20th
century), and literature (Evelyn Waugh, Jane Austen,Tolkien,
William Gibson). I have also been known to dabble in writing fiction. |
|
I've recently got into TV. I'm grudgingly impressed by The X-Factor. I
enjoy House MD, Firefly, Chris Morris, Grand Designs, as well as general documentaries and humour. |
