“Watto’s tunes are always on point and really helps get the lads fizzed up. He voluntarily asks us for some walk out songs and kept the atmosphere humming. He has an awesome, powerful voice too which always helps to create drama on the field. Knowing him for many years he is one of the good guys, he always greets you with a smile and good vibes. I’d highly recommend Watto for any ground announcing you might need.”

Robbie O’Donnell, Former Aces Captain and Northern Districts Current Player

“Paul has been ground announcing at our cricket matches for the last couple of years. Paul is a great communicator and really easy to work with both in the lead up to the events, as well as on the day. Nothing is ever too much to ask, and he is always happy to deliver on those last minute requests that crop up most game days. A pleasure to work with!”

Ashley Livingstone, Event Manager, Northern Districts Cricket

“Paul was superb on the mic in his time as our NSW Cup ground announcer. Always onto it and was excellent with his pronunciation. He made things easy on game day and brought a solid energy to the role. I highly recommend him for any future roles in this space”
