  • New Series of Bach Concerts
    Just a few weeks ago, my double bass colleague Simon Crewe and I started again practicing our interpretations of Bach Partitas! It’s been some three years since we were able to get together because of COVID, and we just decided to look at completely new music. We got interrupted at our home at Emmanuel Church […]
  • Improv Tour Concert Series
    What do you prefer to listen to? Serious classical music, expertly performed – or something more random? or. mix of both? “Improv Tour” is a concept that I have been working on for the past three years, increasing the amount of improvisation in the baroque music that I typically play. The last two songs you […]
  • Sketch of our Time
    Sometimes at times like these, it is important to reach out, keep well, keep safe.  I just thought, while April studios is closed for a few weeks, it would be nice to create something different, easy to listen to, thought provoking. I didn’t use a metronome, I just played how it feels. Think of it […]
  • Sonata gets played on BBC Radio Devon
    One of my standout recordings from April Studios – the Sonata recording – was played by Sarah Gosling on BBC just a couple of evenings ago; here is the link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p07frg48 . You got to travel some 1hr 35 mins in – but well worth it, and Sarah said some lovely things. Thankyou!    
  • Concert for Plymouth!
    I discuss the background for my upcoming Concert for the Plymouth Liberal Democrats on June 22nd at Hope Baptist Church in the evening. Its not often – that I get such a super intro;  and it has taken time to put together!  Our original concept was a soft or “Ronnie Scotts” style of evening – […]
  • Background to Sonata
    “Sonata” was always conceived as a three-movement piece, in the classic way – but somehow got railroaded into being stand-alone. There just seems to be so much more to say in this one movement, and being able to link several melodies and ideas, all in the one piece, seems to work great.  But it did […]
  • JazzBach Concert at Kristianstad, Sweden, Sunday 6th May2018 5pm.
    Hi! It’s always great to be invited back to do a new Concert – but none better than the fantastic cathedral-like Church in centre of Kristianstad! I will be playing a new Concert of new jazz interpretations of J S Bach Preludes and Fugues – but also focussing on my own new music, to be […]

  • Concerts with Rachel Taverner
    After a chance meeting at Stockport Station, on the Virgin train out of Manchester, Rachel is a brilliant romantic and impressionist pianist.  Have a look at www.racheltaverner.co.uk. A great complement to my own jazz based J S Bach.  There is a real possibility of offering joint performance, thru to community music programmes.
  • New Songs…
    I am creating Two new songs, – one for my good friend Galyna in Vinnitsa – she has been very patient!  And Edith in Brussels has asked for a Song.  Both are very different, so the question is – what will work best for them. I will let you know when they are published! Throughout […]
  • Music Logos
    We were talking yesterday with Blur Group about offering our Music Logos to the corporate community, via their platform.  I am very excited about how to use music to communicate corporate values.  If we can write and perform music that reaches out to people, in a more intuitive way – this is a real next […]
  • Upcoming Concert Auditions
    Next week we are auditioning to play a range of Concerts at the acclaimed TR2 in Plymouth. The question is whether our eclectic versions of Bach will fit – or whether we focus purely on our own more modern material.
