His first two operas (The Nightjar, 1999 and Jacko's Hour, 2009) attracted national critical acclaim at their first performances. His third, The Trial of Jean Rhys, libretto by Eleanor Knight, was developed through Royal Opera House's VOX2 programme. It was featured at Tête à Tête: The Opera Festival in August 2012 and excerpts were showcased at Linbury Studio and the Opera Europa conference in 2011 and 2012. His Symphony No 1: The Journey was premiered in May 2011. Commissioned work includes The Firebucket for ENO Baylis (1998), The Nightjar for Tete a Tete (1999), The Dead of Night for Opera North (2003), Fair and Softly Goes Far for National Dance Company of Wales/WNO (2011), and Nine Stories High for WNO (2012).

I am a working full-time musician, teaching, performing, composing, recording and arranging, and my gigs in the last few years have included jazz combo, big band jazz, folk, Irish traditional, rock, soul, latin, klezmer, funk, orchestral, chamber, minimal techno, musical theatre and more, so, safe to say, I’ll have a go at anything. 

I'm a firm believer in demolishing boundaries between genres, cultures, languages and ultimately people, and Soundcloud is a terrific place where all this can happen.
