Welcome! I’m a musician based in London, UK.
From an early age, I remember attempting to recreate music for television shows that I watched at home. After studying music at university, I started to accompany movies made in the silent era with live audiences. I’m now a regular pianist at the London Cinema Museum and have recorded soundtracks for both old and new silent films. I’ve improvised live scores on pianos and organs for audiences all around the UK and beyond.
I’ve also been fortunate to have been taught by some outstanding music teachers. I’m now a teacher myself and my students include musicians of all ages and abilities.
On Sunday mornings, you can find me playing the 1844 Bishop organ at St Giles’ church in Camberwell, where I’m the Director of Music. St Giles’ is also the ‘spiritual’ home of Organoke® – Karaoke Classics vs The Mighty Organ! Organoke is a major musical event with shows throughout the year in multiple locations, including The Brighton Dome.
I hope that you enjoy reading about what I do and please feel free to get in touch.
