External Work
Gary works as a valued member of the Technical Crew at a small concert venue in his hometown of Carlisle called the Sands Centre. The venue see's a range of events from large rock concerts on tour and west end musicals/theatre pieces to comedians and dance groups. In his time there, he has been involved with countless amounts of productions of all sizes as either general crew, stage electrician/technician roles or taking to the job of the board operator or even the follow spot.
He also helped out voluntarily at his local 'am-dram' theatre the West-Walls Theatre from the age of 13. During his time there, he was involved with everything as much as possible and learning from professionals who also put time in their outside of their own work. With time as people came and went, he eventually pent the last two years of his time there as the 'Technical Manager' overseeing all the operations from arranging crew to technical maintenance. During his time there, he has learnt from professionals and worked to such standards as well as training other people who have become involved and has kept the theatre in a healthy state for productions and the comfort of the audience members. He left the theatre in 2014 to begin his studies at the RCS.
He was also heavily involved with the lighting and sound for productions at his school (William Howard School) which would see a production budget for hiring in specialist equipment. Events would range from typical school musicals and exhibitions to concerts and proms, some of which featuring famous guests.
