Well, its been a while now so I thought I would update in the crew situation. We have some new, some old, some leaving, some joining so lets get on with it
Anna Kendall - Tour/Stage Manager – Anna has just married and so is now no longer Anna Westwood. Mrs. Kendall is the big boss. It is her job to organize all the cast and crew to be on time, she is the venue liaison and make all the calls through the show. Anna also works on the administration team and so has a huge insight into the venues, tickets, costs and personnel.
Craig (Crusty) Cursiter – Crew – Now no longer the baby he is one of the more experienced members. Crusty now floats between lighting and video operating and is a general all rounder. Crusty heads up the load in and out and can be seen bashing his belly into stubborn flight cases and shouting commands for ‘decking next’ or ‘not that bit’.
Stephen (Sven) Jolly - Lighting Tech - Is relinquishing his responsibilities to other members of the crew. He is training Ginger up on the lighting and soon will be able to sit back with his feet up… Sven still puts all that weight to good use pushing and lifting heavy set and flight cases. He is part of the fatty crew, with Crusty and Twix.
Tim (Twix/Timmy Two Shoes) Wickham - Video Tech - Tim is responsible for all the video stuff that goes on. He is the main man during the show as he press the button that sets it all rolling. He has a cool toy called a DoReMi which is basically a posh video player. Note: same as written before as nothing has changed. He has however now got a baby boy, but daddy tim just seems weird so he remains Twix.
Paul (Sconners) O’Conner – Follow Spot – Paul is the sharp shooting follow spot operator. He highlights the main characters in the show, making sure they can be seen at all times. Sconner’s also is our Strength, where Sven has fat Paul has muscle.
Sam (Little Sam, Shocking, Sammy) Hocking – Stage Hand (right) – Sam is the bloke you see changing scenes on the left (from an audience point of view) As well as assisting the in and out, Sam is responsible for set moves, helping the cast with props and is ready on coms for any emergency that may occur.
Neil (Beardo) Aston – Stage Hand (left) – Beardo works like Sammy but on the opposite side. He also has the great responsibility of ensuring all the cast have Mic’s and IEM’s. Neil will check battery levels, clean, pack, and assist cast with all their vocal and fold back issues.
Edward Martin (Ginger) Ashton White – Lighting Engineer – We all love Ed dearly but being ginger he is unfortunately the butt of all jokes. Ed is training in lighting, making sure they are all plaitted in the correct places and operating the desk during the show.
People to come…..
Sam (New Boy) Lynam – Not sure – Sam is the latest crew to join the team. He has not started with us yet so we don’t really know much about him. Check you his myspace - http://www.myspace.com/soundiesam
