Andy Coates Blog

Just a quick update on me and my blog just in-case anyone is wondering about the recent absence from blogging. Just checking i cant beleive that my last post was on the 26th of November! NOOOOOOOOOOO…how could I have let it slip so much, I used to be really good at keeping the "all important" post frequency at one per day!

Well during that time i have been really busy with a few different "live events" jobs! At then end of November i spent a few days in Manchester at the relatively new Hilton hotel operating sound for the CIPR and Fresh Digital awards, these were awards dinners for people based in the Public Relations industry. The overall winner of the Fresh Digital award went to a company called Propaganda for their particularly funny Viral Video called Rubber 55 (the clue is in the tittle) check it out but you have been warned! LOL.

Following my stint in manchester I was working locally in Newcastle, Leazes park to be precise as part of the production team for Enchanted Parks which was an outdoor kind of arts installation as part of Newcastle/Gateshead winter festival. Worked with some good people on this gig and had some fun, which is what keeps you going when your runnic cables in the cold and wet mud!

Andy currently, (I know your not meant to start sentences with and but I just have!) I'm working at Dance City in Newcastle Operating sound for the fantastic Xmas show Soul II Sole - A B-Boy Story, working with James Froment and not forgetting Amy and Rory we have had fun putting the technical aspects of this together. The show is a semi autobiographical story of The Bad Taste Cru charting their history and showing everyone what AWESOME break-dancing they can do! We have 2 more shows to do tomorrow (Saturday the 15th December) and then a party to attend!

After this show I'm happily off untill after xmas (unless i get a call imbertween which is highly likely!) where I may post more frequent blog updates!

Untill then, have a good one!
