Conductor
From a love of singing sprung a love for choirs, and conducting followed naturally from there.
As well as my choirs, I absolutely love the new music group I founded, No Dice Collective. There I get to commission new pieces as well as work on our podcast and coordinate initiatives to get more people interested in contemporary classical music.

“ Joined the choir at work and spent my lunch hour singing… it was joyous and now I feel wonderful. ”
Jess N-H (UoM staff choir)
“ Always professional in his approach, extremely patient & sensitive to the choir’s strengths & weaknesses.
Over a year with our community choir (Salford Sings) he has shaped a random group of ‘non-singers’ into a real choir with confidence in our ability to perform.
He has transformed us into choral addicts, as well as improving our breathing & social life! ”
