Current Projects
Nottingham People's Choir
In 2013, I set up the Nottingham People's Choir, with the support of the Institute of Mental Health. The choir (which is going from strength to strength) meets most Thursdays at 1.00pm in the Royal Concert Hall in Nottingham City Centre. Do contact me if you would like any further information. One highlight for the choir in 2015 was singing with the Jocelyn Pook Ensemble in the Anxiety Fanfare. Follow this link to see the entire performance at King's Place in London. We are currently collaborating with the Royal Shakespeare Company. (More information about this exciting project coming soon!)
