I’ve ended up with a spare standing ticket for the Alan Menken evening gig @
The Palladium this Sunday - anyone fancy taking it off my hands? Cost £55 but happy to let it go for £30!

Here’s a reel as a way of introducing myself.

It, of course, showcases the work I do but importantly it also features many of the wonderful folks I get to work & collaborate with. Truthfully, that’s the real joy of working in the arts for me. Creating and sharing things with a wider community.

Some of my favourite projects of recent:

1. Composer - Ratship Cabaret (aPlottment Theatre)

2. Workshop Leader - Deep Listening Workshop (The Attic, Leeds)

3. Soundpainter - Cabinet of Dr Caligari (The Storytelling Ensemble)

4. MD - Beauty & the Beast Panto (Anton Benson Productions)
Three rehearsal images from Ratship Cabaret by aPlottment Theatre. Top: Actor with blonde hair, glasses and beard is in foreground playing piano. In the background an actor with reddish-brown long hair plays double bass and an actor with short black hair plays a drum kit made of snare drum and hi-hat. The room is well lit with sunlight and the sprung-wooden floor reflects the light into the room. Middle: the cast take a well deserved lunch break. Two cast members sit on a pale blue sofa. One is on their phone the other is reclining reading a book. Two other cast members sit on the floor, one leaning against the sofa and one sits leaning against the wall in the background of the image. Bottom: rehearsal shot from the show. Two actors are stood holding up a double bass. Another is stood in the background to the right, entering the scene. They are reflected back in a studio mirror. A warm, green room with a lovely red rug on the floor. Top: Smiling participants from the deep listening workshop. Bottom: participants engaging mid-workshop in an instrument playing exercise. A cosy, industrial warehouse turned into an arts venue. Grand piano and group of musicians appear in all photos. Top: musicians playing their instruments. Lamp and fairy light glow. A window in the background showing a dusky autumn evening. Mid: the orchestra in the background to one side a projection of a silent film on a wall. Bottom: the orchestra mid action all focused on the projection Top: an image of the pit for the show. Jake, the drummer is in the background. Foreground is my piano and laptop. Mid: I’m sat in the pit looking at the camera. I have short brown hair, glasses and I am wearing a black shirt, trousers and velvet blazer. Bottom: A front of house pic of the audience and set for Beauty and the Beast Panto pre-show. The stage is washed in pink lighting and two fake castle portals have lit up windows.
