Having grown up in Kent,
England,
I now live
in
Inverurie, near Aberdeen in
Scotland.
I am married with two sons and a daughter. The
family is Scottish,
except for me being the Sassenach.
Trained in engineering and worked for BBC in
London in late 1960`s and
early 1970`s,
where
I spent
time at TV Centre, in the Equipment
Department in Chiswick, and
at Broadcasting House for
BBC Radio.
Then moved
abroad to work in the oil industry as a
geologist and later as a petroleum engineer.
Returned in
1975 in the early days of Independent
Local Radio to join a fledgling Radio Victory in Portsmouth.
Later
moved
to Aberdeen as
Chief Engineer at NorthSound
Radio.
My world then opened up in 1984 when I left the
security of employment
to become freelance as Sound Recordist,
and Dubbing
mixer
.
I also undertake the occasional electronic
design / installation job.
Formed
the Company ‘Bob Barrow
Limited’ in 2003, with my eldest son, to
bring my various activities under one roof, as it were!..
