'I am indeed most grateful to you for your most excellent recital. Many complimentary messages have been received, and your playing was much appreciated. I do hope that we shall have the pleasure of hearing you again in the not too distant future.'
'I am writing to thank you for the lovely organ concert. You presented a very varied programme which was really well received. There were many appreciative comments and people who didn't think they were organ enthusiasts found themselves enjoying your programme.'
Since the launch of my solo career at Peterborough Cathedral, I have performed at various London venues and in churches and cathedrals throughout Scotland, England and Wales, and on a concert tour of Estonia, including two concerts in the capital, Tallinn. After a number of years in Norway as organist in both Lutheran and Roman Catholic churches, including the Franciscan friary in Oslo, I was appointed organist of St. Mary Rotherhithe, London, where for eleven years I was privileged to play the historic 1764 John Byfield instrument, including playing for the visits of both the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Dean of Westminster Abbey.
As a result of my work with the Rotherhithe Byfield organ, I have become a specialist in the English 18th century repertoire 1714-1837, the 'Gorgeous Georgians', and at Rotherhithe performed representative works of 31 composers of the period over a six-month series. Click on the links to hear me play some of these pieces on authentic instruments of the period.
I give concerts on organs of all shapes, sizes and vintages, from large four-manual romantic cathedral organs to small eighteenth century chamber organs. My repertoire centres on Western European organ and keyboard music of the Renaissance, Baroque and Classical periods, but I do include music from other periods, too, including lighter music in the second half of my programmes. Listen to an example here.
I also perform as soloist and accompanist on both organ and piano. for church services, weddings, funerals, concerts, competitions and examinations.
Contact me here - my fees can be seen here.
I have appeared (for a few seconds!) on Al Jazeera America in connection with St. Mary Rotherhithe's links with 'Mayflower' history. Click on the picture of me playing at 2.19 p.m.
