After two years of postgraduate study under cellist Rachael Sommer at the RNCM in Manchester, he worked in Spain as a pianist and arranger before returning to London and Birmingham to freelance with various orchestras.
In 1982, he was appointed sub-principal cello with The Orchestra of Scottish Opera and performed for numerous music clubs as accompanist and chamber musician. His arranging work has involved projects for the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, the Scottish Ensemble and the recording of Mozart’s Seraglio for Scottish Opera, as well as the BBC’s “Songs of Praise”. His award-winning compositions include a commission from the National Trust to celebrate the architect Robert Adam and a Suite for Cello and Strings featuring the traditional music of the Western Isles.
