Chris Humphries
Media Productions
I’m Chris - I’m a drummer, percussionist, and experienced orchestral musician. I’ve been working in secondary education over the last 12 years, as a recording engineer and studio manager, but also offer freelance working in a variety of services, including Live Streaming. During these tricky times, it’s all the more important for Arts organisations and performers to stay connected to audiences.
Please get in contact, even if it’s a service not listed - I will always tailor to your individual circumstances.
