He has a long-standing association with the Royal Choral Society, and performs with them many times a year at the Royal Albert Hall in London. This December he is playing organ in no fewer than seventeen Christmas concerts in the Albert Hall’s Christmas festival.

He is Musical Director to Romsey Choral Society and Waverley Singers in Farnham, and is due to perform Bach’s St. John Passion and Will Todd’s Mass in Blue with them this season.
