Testimonials - 

Name That Tune/The Big Deal (Fox/Virgin Media)

Shane Byrne - Executive Producer

Johnny has been an essential component of my productions for many years. We have collaborated on Name That Tune (Fox US), The Big Deal (Fox US/Virgin Media Television), The New Year’s Eve Countdown Show (RTE Television) & Ireland’s Got Talent (Fremantle/Virgin Media Television). 
 
His enthusiasm, professionalism and creativity not only enhanced the show’s content, it elevated it to a world class level. From the early stages of production, right through to the studio filming dates, their vision has always excelled all expectations.

​

Brassic (Sky) Saul Metzstein - Director

The scene was everything I’d dreamt it would be and more. It was fun to make and a pleasure to work with you. From my point of view, it really couldn’t have gone more smoothly, and I really appreciate how (apparently) easy it was for you to alter things as per our ever changing requirements...

Roll on Brassic the Musical, so we can do it all again.

Irelands Got Talent (RTE) Darren Smith - Exec Producer

'We’d work with him in a heartbeat.”  

“Where to start on a testimonial for Johnny? Obviously his creativity is at the heart of what’s so brilliant about him but amazingly it’s just one of the many skills that made his contribution to Ireland’s Got Talent such an asset to the production. 

From his ability to make every act feel relaxed whilst building their confidence as they went through the process of getting them show ready, to the sheer professionalism and resourcefulness, he made what can be a tricky part of any production matrix a joy to deal with."

The Masked Singer (ITV) Idents Jonnie Malachi - Director

Johnny was an excellent collaborator on the Royal Caribbean x Masked Singer idents. The concept was very dependent on tight graphic choreography, whilst the dancers had to wear huge furry animal masks with very limited visibility. So we needed a choreographer who was patient, clear & calm - and could fuse humour & narrative with badass choreo. Thankfully Johnny embodied all those things and more. We needed 4 separate idents & (obviously) had virtually no time to pull it all together, but with a sterling effort Johnny attacked the challenge with aplomb & we got a great result for agency & client.
