Conductor-organist

As an organist, conductor and pianist

As a recital-award winning organist and conductor, I have taken masterclasses and lessons under some of the UKs greatest organists such as Dame Gillian Weir, Robert Quinney and Gordon Stewart. I have played at many of the UKs major Cathedrals including Westminster Cathedral and Abbey, Southwark, Peterborough, Hereford, Canterbury, Liverpool, Chichester, Belfast, most Oxford and Cambridge Chapels and major churches as well as abroad in France and Belgium. From 2020/21 I was the pianist for the Emily Davies Dance Academy, working as a ballet accompanist for workshops, rehearsals and exams. I am a member of the Royal College of Organists (RCO) and Fellow of the Society of Crematorium Organists (FSCO).

I am currently Executive Producer of the Southern Cathedrals Festival, having previously worked at the Ulster Orchestra both in the fundraising team and in the Learning and Community Engagement (LCE) department. I have previously been musical director of the Queen's Consort, the Mossgrove singers, the Guildhall Schola Cantorum, the London Conservatoire Singers and the St Agnes Liturgical Choir. I am a Fellow of the Society of Crematorium Organists (FSCO), a member of the Musicians Union, Incorporated Society of Musicians and the Royal College of Organists. I was appointed Director of Music at the Old Town Parishes in Hastings, East Sussex where I lead the RSCM Junior Choristers and an SATB adult liturgical choir. I have the delightful opportunity to regularly play on a 3-manual Father Willis Organ from 1877. Up until 2024, I was director of Music at St Patrick's Church, Jordanstown in Northern Ireland, leading their RSCM SATB choir. From 2015-2021, I held the position of director of music at St Agnes Church, Kennington Park. As well as this, from 2015-2021, I directed the Kennington Park recital series, hosting 13 concerts per year.

As a recitalist

As a composer, naturally my organ performance repertoire is quite focused on new music. I have a deep passion for playing music by the wandelweiser composers, the holy minimalists, the English and American experimental schools and any other composer that doesn't fit into those categories but of whom I like.

Working as a composer, I only give 5-6 recitals per year but usually advertise these on either organrecitals.com or this site.

Engagements included:

St Luke's, Sevenoaks
First Presbyterian Church, Belfast (book launch for Lord Alderdice)
St Stephen's Walbrook (City of London)
St Johns, Hollington (Hastings)
St Patrick's, Jordanstown
