Welcome to my website!
I play a variety of different bass (and double bass) string instruments.

In 2002 I started a concert series in Walthamstow, London E17 - Music in the Village.

MUSIC IN THE VILLAGE calendar
For St James' Baroque I play violone and violone grosso, and sometimes large bass violin.
Here are London Viols, returning from playing in Mallorca, in 2018
For twenty four years, I was the bass player for the English Concert. In 2003 I volunteered myself to manage St. James' Baroque and ended up running it ever since. Be careful what you volunteer for!
When concerts are permitted to happen again,
our postponed concerts will be rescheduled.
Less than an hour after the Music in the Village quiz was sent, the first 12 point answer arrived to claim a free ticket. Quick on the draw, I would say!
Concerts this season will last about 65 minutes, with no interval or refreshments.
A new on-line premiere, a piece I wrote in memory of Gustav Clarkson, written for Adam Römer on viola called Daalamist available to view.
I would like to salute Marcus Rashford MBE for the great work he has done. I qualified for free school meals - instrument loans & lessons were free too; lucky for me. Bravo Mr. Rashford.
