Experience
I’ve been White Lies FOH touring engineer starting on their “Friends” album campaign. We’ve toured worldwide in all sorts of clubs and venues and at some of Europe’s biggest festivals.
I worked with Britannia Row as assistant system engineer on selected shows on the US+Them tour by Roger Waters and also for the Foo Fighters’ UK summer shows.
Worked as FOH engineer for the festivals above on these stages, respectively: Festival Republic, Empress Ballroom (main stage), Sunrise Arena.
UK tour with world famous 80s pop act ABC.
Worked with renowned Fleetwood Mac tribute act “Rumours” as their FOH engineer and PA tech on two of their touring campaigns around the UK. Both tours mainly covered the theatre circuit around the country.
I’ve worked nationally and internationally for WISE Productions and other corporate clients. The work ranges from working in some of the UK most iconic and unique venues (Kensington Palace, Westminster Abbey, British Museum, Natural History Museum…) to big hotels and convection centres alike. Always delivering the highest standard of sound to the most demanding customers.
Technical
For several years now we have employed Mario as a freelance Senior Audio Systems Engineer. His role is typically that of main Front of House Audio System and Mix Engineer. We consider Mario to be highly experienced and qualified in the area of Professional Audio system design, installation and setup, mainly for live concerts and tours in the UK.
As well as his primary role for us, Mario often also works as an Audio Monitor Engineer and sometimes as a Stage Patch Technician. He is multi-skilled, and this is essential in today’s competitive Audio Supply market. We rely on Mario’s skills and availability, and as far as I cam concerned he is a corner-stone to our company,
helping to project the good attitude and work ethic that is associated with us as a company.
Mario is extremely honest, hard working and reliable. I am personally happy to offer further or more detailed testimonials or references at any time, please feel free to contact me at your convenience.

E.S.S. and touring monitor engineer.
It was a true pleasure having Mario interning for me at Manifold Recording. It is my feeling that he has all the qualities necessary to excel as an audio professional. He has excellent core knowledge of audio engineering and related disciplines, and the intelligence and genuine enthusiasm to continue growing his professional abilities and skill set. I believe he also has the personality and temperament that will serve him well in the area of client relations and interaction. Makes a mean cup of coffee, too. If I have any regrets regarding Mario's internship, it would be that I didn't have a job to offer him when it was ended. I wish him the best, and recommend him wholeheartedly for any opportunity in the pro audio field.

Mario has been a brilliant student, getting high marks during his studies and at the final examination.
I'm sure he will be as good in his work.
