    Retired, professional musician. My career began in the early 60s with the legendary folk group, 'The Halliard'. In '71, I graduated from Brentwood College of Education (Anglia Ruskin University) where  I studied Composition, Harmony, Counterpoint & Orchestration with Harold Dexter & contemporary composers & their methods with Annea Lockwood. In parallel I studied  Classical Guitar at Trinity College, London. I taught for a few years, but decided to freelance: Playing guitar (Session work, Shows, Cabaret); arranging & composing for Chappell & Co., Boston Music, Hammerstein Music, I.M.P. & Warner Chappell. Two choral works received their first performances at The Royal Albert Hall & The Purcell Room at London's South Bank Centre. In 1984 I returned to education as Head of Music at a High School in East London, retiring in 2004. I belong to The British Music Writers Council (Musician's Union),  PRS for Music & I am associated with the Composers' Collective at London's Southbank Centre.
