Team
Rebecca Clough
Managing Director
As well as managing the day-to-day running of the business Rebecca’s main area of expertise lies in lighting design. She designs for a wide range of projects including theatre, musicals, gigs and live events. Rebecca has always been very hands-on and can often be found assisting on site. It was Rebecca’s passion for the theatre that inspired her to start up Blue Parrot in 2000, whilst she was still at school!
Mike Somerville
Director, Head of Productions
Mike has a wealth of technical expertise in his field. He has worked in many venues across Scotland and has designed and operated sound for a number of clients including theatre productions, conferences, operas and rock and roll concerts. Mike has memorised most musicals and has been known to sing entire shows complete with all character voices - the office is never a dull place when he is on shift!
Fraser Welsh
Warehouse Manager
Having worked for many years down South running warehouses for large award winning AV and lighting hire companies, mainly in the ‘glamourous’ rock and roll concert touring sector, Fraser has come back home due to missing the comfort of Scotland’s unrelenting drizzle so much. Unlikely as it may seem Fraser is the go to guy in the office for swimming stroke analysis and tune-ups as well as ultra-marathon nutrition strategy advice.
Rhys Turner
Project Manager
Rhys joined the team after working as a freelance technician across Scotland. He has always had a passion for musical theatre and is delighted to be working with Blue Parrot to pursue a career in this field. After serving as our senior show technician for almost 3 years, Rhys is now part of our Project Management team. Aside from being behind a sound desk, Rhys is at his happiest camping and playing outdoor sports.
