About me
I attended the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, London where I studied both performers' courses in French Horn and drama with singing as a second study.I was in Rep for about 6 years as well as pantomime,Theatre Royal Stratford East, a musical at the Royal Court in London and radio, TV & films.
I was appointed director of productions of the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company for ten years before its closure, so possibly could be considered for directing.
I then formed an events production consultancy, producing fundraising events in London parks and large indoor arenas. My favourite account was as general manager of the Royal Choral Society with an office in the Royal Albert Hall from where I promoted large choral concerts at the Royal Albert & Festival Halls, national festivals and tours abroad through sponsorship including the British Council. I've also directed two festivals, the Lambeth Community Festival and Guildford Millennium ArtsFest.

Additional skills:
My last resident contract was producing five open air shows a year at Rougham Airfield near Bury St Edmunds.
My present work includes presenting shows, commentaries and recording voice overs.
