Music

 

Music is a major part of my life, both as a keen listener, and as a performer. I sang in choirs for more than 10 years as a child and at school I played guitar in a pop band and the trumpet in various groups.

At university I concentrated on the guitar and played in the university folk club, and in folk clubs around East Anglia. I made a record of my own songs (Idionsyncratics and Swallows’ Wings) soon to be re-released by an independent record label.

After university I spent two years living precariously as a singer-songwriter, playing in folk clubs and busking to earn a living. Later in Mexico I gave a number of concerts, singing and playing my own songs, British and American folk, and many Mexican songs which I came to love (you can listen to recordings of four of my songs from around this time).

I am lucky enough to live in Cambridge UK where there are many opportunities for both listening and performing. I play the viola in the Cambridge Philharmonic Society. If you are ever in Cambridge when we are playing, why not come along to one of our concerts?
