In July 1988 I started work at PWL Studios, Pete Waterman Limited, the home of Stock-Aitken-Waterman. I was only 16 years old and straight out of school, it wasn't an easy job to get, PWL was the hottest place to work in the music / studio industry at that time. I sent the personal manager Sherry my CV every week and then bugged her with phone calls to follow, so basically when a studio assistant job came up my name was top of their list for the interview. I got the job and below are some photos, my diary pages and bits and bobs from my 10 years at PWL Studios.
