Top class engineers to act as senior sound supervisors

UK-based Fleetwood Mobiles has announced it’s new association with senior sound supervisors Jerry Boys and Ronald Prent.

Boys (pictured, right) will be representing Fleetwood as its senior sound supervisor in the UK while Prent (pictured, left) will fulfil the role throughout Europe.

Commenting on the announcement, Ian Cooper, director of Fleetwood, said: “We are aiming to offer a service to our clients where we can provide the perfect engineer for each specific event. Having Jerry and Ronald on board offers us the opportunity to extend our quest for superior sound, something that is becoming increasingly important for the live recording sector as clients become aware of the audio demands created by the rapid evolution of HDTV, Blu-ray and On-Line distribution.”

Jerry Boys started his career in 1965 as a tape-op at Abbey Road Studios, where he worked with such artists as The Beatles and Pink Floyd and later at Olympic Studios with The Rolling Stones. Since then he has worked at studios around the world recording and producing many Platinum, Gold and Grammy Award winning records.

Boys has recently recorded and mixed Oumou Sangare’s new album at Livingston Studios and continues working on the Buena Vista Social Club Live project for World Circuit and is currently producing the eagerly awaited new record from Baaba Maal for Island Life.

Prent brings with him a specialization in surround sound mixing and recording. After a career as a freelance engineer working in some of the best studios around the world, Ronald has spent the last six years researching and developing best practice surround recording and mixing, with support from Philips and Sony.

Prent has an impressive history of live recording, having worked with artists including Def Leppard, Dire Straits, Procol Harem, Lenny Kravitz, Suzanna Vega and Sade. His musicals credits include Fame, Cats, Barnum, Les Miserables and he has recorded the Opera Aida and the North Sea Jazz Festival for Live Radio and TV, which featured the last Live Performance by Ray Charles.

Fleetwood is confident that the association with two such renowned sound supervisors will broaden the range of services that the company can offer, and provide knowledge and experience to augment the excellent array of engineers and recording assistants available to clients.
