  • About Me I am the chairman of Bray Choral Society (at least until the end of May 2014); I have been singing with BCS since 2007. I also organise and lead the singing and music for one of the masses at my local parish church.

    I love music in general, but am passionate about choral music in most genres from early music to contemporary music. I came to choral singing late in life, in 2007 when I was just turning 50, and have tried to make up for the late start by dedication and hard work.

    I love to record our great performances as well as I can, and make CDs from them

    In non-musical life I am a Chartered (i.e. registered Professional) Mechanical Engineer; I design industrial energy systems and steam boilers. I hope I don't sound like one of my boilers!
