I am a musician, composer, arranger, lecturer, examiner and occasional article writer.
My specialism is contemporary music, and in addition I actively research and arrange Medieval and Renaissance dance music and the folk-music of the British Isles. I also compose and arrange much music for school music making and for students learning to play an instrument.
My compositions and arrangements are bought and performed by musicians across the world. Many of my scores may be found on the Score Exchange website.
If you like the music I produce, and would like me to compose or arrange music for your ensemble, event or organisation, then please contact me,
