My earliest musical memory is blowing on a harmonica in the middle of the night in my parent's bedroom. I was two years old and lived to tell the tale!

I've been singing all my life. Between 10 and 18 I sang in many different choirs. After that I studied with the Canadian Baritone John Boyden, then John Carol Case before meeting my current teacher, Margaret Thomas, in 1994.

I caught the acting bug in London in the mid '80's where my ideas for this group first began to take shape. I'm passionate about singing and performing. I also direct and write a few murder mysteries.

I married Ethel-Jane in 2005. We share a love of sci-fi, fantasy novels, cats (in small numbers), food, 24, and a bizarre sense of humour.

I love: sashimi, cooking, vodka, cinema, laughing with my friends, blackcurrant jam, jaffa cakes and sport.

I hate: litter, lack of manners, butter beans, ironing and cutting the grass!
