Christopher Somerville

Currently a freelancer for Premier Creative Group where I get most of my projects. Roles include LED Tech, Camera op, L2, ME and LD.

I enjoy working every role, however, my goal is to advance my lighting knowledge and career in the touring and festival industry. I believe that having the opportunity to work with 4Wall, will give me the ability to achieve these goals.

My ambition is to set up, program and operate, larger live events, providing an opportunity for more creativity and design. I have a passion for this industry and want to grow and learn as much as I can.
