Nick has been designing and building small street theatre PA’s both for himself and for others since 2000. Early versions used whatever came to hand – Black and Decker hedge trimmer batteries, 1983 Walkmans, TV speakers etc. Later versions used off the shelf car audio equipment – tweaked and optimised. The latest PA’s use the most cutting edge technology available : T-Class amplifiers, super sensitive and lightweight speakers, Li-ion batteries and MP3 players.	Nick has been making all of his life, and has worked with a vast array of materials. He has worked professionally as an engineer, blacksmith, metalworker, sculptor, builder, plumber, carpenter, electrician…and probably in other forgotten areas as well. He designs and builds all of Stuff and Things props and costumes with help from Bert when needed; and has worked with lots of theatre companies, small businesses, schools, and individuals, inventing, designing and fabricating one-off’s. He has never had a dissatisfied customer yet . He is a problem solver who knows exactly where the balance lies between design, aesthetics and cost.	Bert has been a professional photographer since 1985. He has worked as a medical,  wedding, theatre, street theatre and portrait photographer for individuals and businesses with both digital and celluloid formats. He also can also point his expensive video camera at your stuff and/or things if you want.
