My Work

Latest News

July 2023

Most importantly my wife Kate and I were enormously fortunate to dodge the worst of the dreadful Coronavirus which dominated all of our lives for so long.  Our thoughts were with our many friends and colleagues during this very difficult time.

Like all of us, I did my best to use the time productively, and the difficulties imposed by Covid 19 brought about some unexpectedly productive & enjoyable "side effects", including the resumption of mixing & mastering recordings of theatre productions for which I have written the music, and in some cases the lyrics ...going back several years!  This work has sat in my "bottom drawer" for far-too-long while MD'ing increasingly dominated my time and attention.

Without wishing to go into the details, the shake-up caused by Covid 19 also brought about a re-focusing of family and other commitments, as it has for so many people. 

All of this has been interspersed with an ever-increasing amount of work on and commitment to the glorious annual arts festivals in the gorgeous town of Rye on the Sussex coast, in which I and some clever & talented colleagues have become a regular fixture.  We are currently compiling, devising and rehearsing material for the closing weekend of this September's 52nd festival.

These festival performances have included the re-igniting of my love of playing jazz, which had taken something of a back seat over the previous few years.  

And thankyou once again to my wonderful, astute and very thorough agent - Bronia Buchanan and her excellent team - for continuing to look after me so well.
