This week’s guest lecture was given by Luke Pickering, Luke is an alumni from the University Of Lincoln and Luke was there in my first year and taught me in my first semester of university, but Luke came today as the studio assistant at the church studios in London and assistant engineer to Paul Epworth who co-wrote and produced Skyfall with Adele. 

Luke began by talking about his job at Church Studios and how it got started, Before Luke was working with church studios he said he was struggling to find relevant work and did a lot of little things to keep him busy this included free lance work and being a lecturer at the University. However on his first month with the studio, he didn’t get hands on with much of the stuff in the studio and instead was doing very boring and mundane jobs like making drinks for other people, cleaning the studio, clearing out the bins and so on.

Luke said we do anything and everything we can and take any opportunity if one should present itself. and really stressed the importance of being persistent when trying to land a job.
