In 2002 I started a concert series called Music in the Village in Walthamstow, London E17. This year, 2024, is our 22nd season!

For twenty four years, I was the bass player for the English Concert.  

In 2003 I volunteered myself to manage St. James' Baroque and ended up running for over 20 years.            Be careful what you volunteer for! 

I still play for St James' Baroque - violone, violone grosso and sometimes, bass viol.
