The desire to work in the music business inspired Ned to successfully graduate from The London School of Sound Engineering in 1991 where he went straight into full time employment with Andy Wright, soon to become a successful producer, but at that time still a busy programmer/writer, and whose varied clientele provided Ned with an enviable training.

After assisting Andy with his work on the Simply Red album “Life”, and touring with them as full time programmer, in 1999 he formed an enduring working relationship with Dave Stewart that has resulted in collaborations with a huge range and variety of artistes including Marianne Faithfull, Gwen Stefani, Mudbone, Nadz and Jimmy Cliff, to name but a few. He has also worked on OST’s for Dave - including Lara Croft (Tombraider 2), “What’s It All About Alfie?” and “Around The World In 80 Days”.

Recent and current projects:-

Currently working in the Us where he is programming for ‘Platinum Weird’ and The Davey Brothers both albums soon to be relased on Interscope and working with developing act Dana.
