I am an experienced Musical Director and Composer who loves to get the best out of the people I work with.

I've MD'd numerous theatrical productions, workshops, cabarets and education projects in London and across the UK, including conducting in the Festival Hall and playing in West End pits. I play piano, keyboards, accordion and organ, and also transcribe, arrange and orchestrate.

I'm currently composing and workshopping two new musicals - Bette & Joan & Baby Jane and Oh Yes I Am! - and won the Iris Theatre Xmas Factor Prize with "Heroes of Christmas, Celebrated Panto Dames" .
