Welcome

A very warm welcome to my website. I hope you will spend time exploring it and discovering more about my career.

I am an English organist, harpsichordist and accompanist with extensive national and international performing experience rapidly building up a critically acclaimed series of recordings. I combine a busy performing and broadcasting career with a successful teaching career in the United Kingdom as Director of Music at Ardingly College. I have also maintained strong musical and personal links with New Zealand since 1993.

Please contact me if you would like further information about my performing or teaching availability.
