The Phantom of the Opera turns 39 today.

I had the pleasure of playing Piangi in the London production — wonderful memories from an unforgettable time.

A little throwback — ten years ago fronting the operatic symphonic metal band Proscenium.
Wonderful to have shared the stage with such brilliant musicians.

Just finished listening to Music Is Art Vol. 1 by Chimpan A — poetic, cinematic, with moving narration and stunning vocals from Steve Balsamo.

Something for everyone here. Wonderful album.

Wind, rain, sea, and the foghorn in Mumbles today — couldn’t help thinking of Peter Grimes. Britten really understood this kind of atmosphere.

Back in Swansea for the holidays — where it all began.

This part of the world has produced so many wonderful opera singers, singers, actors, musicians, and artists. Grateful to have grown up here.

In town for opera coaching and caught The Comedy About Spies.

Sharp, fast, brilliantly played — a great night at the theatre.

Recently came across this backstage photo from my time as Piangi in the West End Phantom of the Opera.

It also brought back memories of voicing the role for the 2004 film adaptation.

Always good to experience storytelling from another angle — Evita at The London Palladium last night.

A reminder of how powerful live theatre can be. Congratulations to all the cast and creatives.
