Locky's Career

I have been involved in the recording business since 1986. This interest grew rapidly and evolved in to establishing various pirate radio stations in the early 1980s.

1989 - I joined Reelgood Studios where I stayed until 1992. During my time in Reelgood, I was to become one of the first recording engineers to make the transition from multitrack tape recorders to digital hard disc recording.

1992 - I moved to Tommy Ellis Studios as senior engineer where I did a major refit of all studios. I was responsible for the introduction of the first ISDN system in Ireland. I oversaw the introduction of the AMS Audiofile hard disc recording system into Tommy Ellis'. I remained in Tommy Ellis Studios till 1998.

1998 - I joined The Farm as senior engineer and partner. I built a brand new state of the art studio and oversaw the complete refit and build of new and existing studios. I remained in The Farm till 2005.

2005 - I built Slate, a three-studio complex based in Dublin's Herbert Street. New ways of working were implemented, a new team was put in place and the very best technology was installed. This was a significant change to the way audio post was traditionally done. Faster turnaround times, quality product and on budget.

2010 - Slate was acquired by Windmill Lane Pictures, who moved to Herbert Street a year earlier. I joined Windmill as senior engineer and continue to manage Slate as well as still operating. With new support structures in place, this now allows me to dedicate most of my time doing what I love best, engineering!

2012 - Still going strong !
