A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME

I'm Rob Sherred and I’m a freelance front of house sound engineer and tour manager from the UK, in my 40’s, I’ve been mixing for many years.
I started out mixing from a very early age around 13 / 14 years old in a local theatre in the UK, Where my mother worked.. and I was taught the basics of sound.

After a while I went to a live venue called “The Esplanade “ which moved and became “Chinnery’s” and I was the in house sound tech, we had such bands as Pearl Jam, The Wildhearts, Thunder, Cannibal Corpse, Artic Monkeys, Baby Shambles, Hard Fi, Mew, Span, Fozzy, Skindred etc.. I have always been a in house sound engineer when I’m not touring.
During this time I was going to alot of metal concerts in London and seeing lots of classic line up’s and shows, and always watched the sound engineer.. I was lucky to meet some of the bands I used to see and I became friends with them which I still am today.

Around 17/18 years old I started touring and I still do it today, I am very passionate about my job and how I do it, i always enjoy new challenges and i actually enjoy to travel !!!
I think that I have been to most places in the world for festivals, tours, club shows... I’m currently based in Oslo, Norway.

As you can see from my list of bands that i work / worked with and quotes, I seem to be on the right track and appear to have quite a good reputation.
If you are interested in me or have any questions and would like to use my services, please contact me for details...
I have a full microphone package from Audix Microphones which I always travel with... I’m very lucky to be endorsed from them, they are a great brand and awesome people.
