Tom Kirk is the media manager for the band and might also be referred to as any of the following: the camera man, the kebab man, Ross Geller, The Pianist, Tom Kirk and any matey play on his name (ie Kirky etc). He arranged and edited footage for their video releases [[Hullabaloo (live)|Hullaballoo DVD]] and the [[Absolution Tour (DVD)|Absolution Tour DVD]], he also filmed the Hullabaloo DVD documentary and most probably any backstage footage on any of [[Muse]]'s DVD single releases, you can usually tell the culprit by wild and shaky camera work coupled with sporadic outbursts of giggling.
