Greg Bailey
Managing Director
Greg has 40 years' experience in the film and television industry. From 1967-1980 he was a partner in the pioneering film production and facilities company Solus Enterprises, which produced amongst other things, the multi-award winning feature-length documentary A Bigger Splash (1972) about the artist David Hockney.
As sound supervisor, Greg has worked on hundreds of productions, from feature films for cinema to current affairs for television. But his first love is music. His numerous credits include music producer on The Police World Tour (BBC1 1980) and Producer/Director on Martin Carthy - Folk Roots for BBC2 (2006), which took him back to his own roots. Greg started his career as a professional folk musician in the sixties and regularly played on BBC TV and radio.
Greg's current interests include academic pursuits. He teaches part-time in the archaeology and drama departments at Bristol University - and also writes the media column for "British Archaeology" magazine.
