Michael Braithwaite: leading the Royal Edinburgh Military Tatto

From Nine To Noon, 10:08 am on 18 December 2020

It's been a tough year for the events industry, both for current endeavours and looking forward to the future. But around the world organisers and producers have been changing the way they think about how large events are put on, and how they're experienced by audiences. 

Michael Braithwaite is a Kiwi creative director who is set to lead Scotland's biggest show in 2021; the Royal Military Edinburgh Tattoo. He's the firs New Zealander and the first person to do so from outside the military. He has been producing festivals, shows and films including the Harry Potter movies for over two decades. He's also a puppeteer, musician and producer. 

But it's a bit different when you're working with the army! Michael is usually based in London, but right now he's back in his home town in Christchurch working remotely to draw together next year's tattoo in August.
