\bigskip\noindent I am a bass-baritone with a wealth of consort and choral experience at the highest level covering a wide range of forms, styles and periods. I continue to seek both to broaden my skills and deepen my understanding of the repertoire and deepen my understanding of its foundations, with a varied mix of consort, choral and solo work. I am a \textbf{Lay Clerk} at \textbf{Westminster Cathedral} in London.
