As a music promoter he staged many theatre concerts and
events, worked with Sir Bobby Moore and Harry Redknapp
at Oxford City FC in the promotions department and ran a successful entertainment
agency before moving back to Scotland in 2000 to launch Scottish Rugby Radio
then Borders Rugby Television.
As a performer he has played many big venues in the UK,
supporting the likes of Boyzone and Peter Andre
and as an actor has appeared with Lynn Redgrave, Peter Davison and Samantha Bond in Film and TV productions.
He has narrated many
TV programmes and DVDs including Motor Sports shows for
Duke, the leading Motor Sports Media company.
Stuart is a regular on Radio Borders, BBC Radio
Scotland and TalkSPORT, where he covered the
last two Rugby World Cups in New Zealand and England. His Hotdisc
Top 40 TV
and Radio shows are syndicated across Europe
every week
and he is rugby correspondent for ITV Border,
where he presents, films, edits and produces regular bulletins.
He was producer for the award-winning Scotsman Rugby
Show which won the top prize at the 2014 Scottish
Press Awards in the "Innovation of the Year" category,
while in the same year his "Borders Railway - From Start To
Finish" radio show was nominated at
the Bauer Media Awards in the "Innovation of the Year"
category. The Six Series TV version of that project took
nearly three years to make and is regarded as the
most comprehensive work on the Borders Railway. The 34
episodes are now included in an 8-disc DVD Box Set.
There's a film, "The Story of the Borders Railway" released - his fourth feature-length movie - the others
being a docu-film following St Boswells Rugby Club as
they made history by winning the Scottish Shield
competition, a docu-film about
Dennis Locorriere's solo comeback following many years
fronting world famous rock and pop band, Dr Hook, plus
another documentary on the greatest Hawick Rugby Team of
all time.
In 2017 the weekly European Hotdisc Country Music chart show for Sky TV's 24 hour
Country Channel on Sky 376, FreeSat 516 as well as
FreeView Channel 87 completed 100 editions on air, while
another project saw him producing weekly TV coverage of BT National League 1 for Scottish Rugby
Television.
In 2018 he was contracted by ITV Border to produce a
series of 10 half-hour programmes under the title
"Border Sport In Focus" covering Rugby, Horse Racing,
Athletics, Football and Motor Sport among other sports.
Another project for 2018 is the completion of a film
about the final days of well known Scottish singer and
broadcaster Jackie Storrar, who sadly died of cancer at
the age of 50.
He brings a wealth of experience to StuMedia, where he is undertaking a variety of
different projects as a media and PR consultant and
video journalist specialising in news, documentaries,
music and sport. His TV and radio production company
covers sports events as well as
producing TV and bespoke programming.
Stuart has launched "Golden Memories" which can
best be described as a cross between "This Is Your Life"
and "Desert Island Discs." It gives people the chance to put someone in the spotlight, be
interviewed about their life, with the result being a
television programme on DVD which makes the perfect gift
for loved ones. It brings to life a person's story
focusing on special moments in their life providing families with a unique
gift which can be handed down to generations.
