I used to be a Puppeteer

I love Puppets ever since I can remember, when I was a child i used to do puppet shows at birthday parties etc, my dad encouraged me and even thought up a name for my puppet business, 'the Marlborough Puppet Co.' for many years i would take my travelling theatre and my marionettes to places all over the west country. When I turned 17 it was so un-cool to be a puppeteer so I stopped, years later 2003 to be precise, i stared performing again this time bigger and more elaborate shows, 'Rumble in the Jungle' 'Pirate Puppet Pantomime' and 'Brunel' I took these shows to many locations in the United Kingdom such as Bristol Zoo, Cadbury World, Wookey Hole and the Trafford Centre in Manchester where i performed in front of 2000 Children.

In 2003 I started auditioning for many roles as a puppeteer and worked on TV shows such as 'the Sooty Show' and 'the Adventures of Dick and Dom'. I also started making Large Puppets for various production companies and my work has been seen all over the World.
I stopped working as a puppeteer in 2012, but I have plans to bring my Little Wings Characters, (www.littlewings.org.uk) to life in the not to distance future.
So Puppetry has been a real love of mine for many years and for many years to come i am sure....
