Music 

 


I graduated in Music from Churchill College, University of Cambridge, and music has always been central to my life.

My first instrument is classical guitar.  With a strong interest in early music, I also play renaissance lute, theorbo and baroque guitar.  There's a fantastic solo repertoire for these instruments, particularly the renaissance lute - enough to keep me going for ever.  See my current solo concert programmes here.

But I also enjoy playing with other musicians.  I work regularly with the Toulouse-based vocal group Antiphona, with concerts in Pau, Rodez and throughout the Midi-Pyrenees region of France.  

I've recorded three CDs.  Two with my duo Sambuca, with flute and recorder player Michael Copley, and one with The Chuckerbutty Ocarina Quartet (did I mention that I play the ocarina as well...?)

Music is great for travelling.  In the last four years I've given concerts in France, England, Wales, Germany, Spain (nine times!), Slovenia, Croatia, and a seven-city tour of Japan in 2009.
