Davy Lamb - Senior Sound Supervisor

Davy has worked in audio for the BBC since 1980. Since 1990 he has primarily worked in TV post production audio.

He has dubbed programmes for local and national BBC, Channel 4, Channel 5, RTE and short films for cinema release.

“Davy did all the post-production sound work on the four films in the second series of ‘Musical Traditions.’ I would like to particularly highlight the way Davy found “spot effect” sounds – it was brilliant – especially in the “Metrical Psalms” film where I feel his contribution to the “sound design” of the film had a terrific effect on the quality of the final programme… Davy did an exceptional job – even finding a convincing sound for a tractor going down a road in the snow!
His balance of sound – especially when we were using so much music – was very thoughtful and careful in all films.
Ian Kirk Smith, Producer of Musical Traditions

“In addition to his technical excellence on Audiovision – which always meant that the dub of the programme was of the very highest order – Davy was endlessly flexible and accommodating in our efforts to deliver the show on time. Any points he made about how we were putting the show together or how we were asking him to work were always very positive, constructive and technically helpful. He was always a cool head in often fraught circumstances. This kind of collaborative working was vital to putting the show together and something that the whole production team greatly appreciated.”
David Healion, Assistant Producer
