ABOUT ME Why am I the right man for the job? I'm a self-employed music-industry professional, hailing from South Wales in the UK. I'm professional and hard-working yet easy going and personable. You needn’t take my word for it... "Jamie is a godsend. We will never tour without him if he is available. Super pro and puts my mind at ease whilst the band is on tour" Chris Penn – Manager: Good Records / The Polyphonic Spree (US) “I have no hesitation to recommend Jamie to any of our peers and industry colleagues for any size of job.” Dave Morgan - Spartan Audio "Jamie is the best! Great FOH person, great Tour Management and organization skills, great driver, positive, easy going personality. I'm stealing him for all my bands" Rachel Cragg - Nettwerk Music Group (US) I have worked as FOH/Monitor/System engineer for well-respected Music Venues, PA hire companies and touring acts. I have UK, European and US tour and festival experience as a Front of House engineer and Tour- manager. I am familiar with all the industry tools and standards and I'm very quick to adopt new technology and ideas. I also have over 10 years experience with events programming, promotion and management for music venues and organisations. I consider my role integral to the smooth running of each project I’ve become involved with. I strive to ensure that the standard of the shows is consistent and of a high standard, both for the artist, promoters, venue staff and the viewing audience.
