    Musical Theatre Showcase

    I shall be MDing two nights of musical theatre performances for the BTEC Performing Arts students at Wayland Academy, as a showcase of the work have been doing this term.

    Featuring monologues, dance pieces, solo vocal performances and group numbers, the showcase will run on 13th and 14th March 2014, at Wayland Academy in Watton, Norfolk.  Entry is free, and tickets are available from the school.

  • I am delighted to have been invited back to Pellafort Press this coming Wednesday (20th November) to play the piano at the opening night of a brand new exhibition – ‘Explosive‘ – by London-based Russian painter Natalia Avdeeva.

    The exhibition itself will run for two weeks (20th November – 5th December).  As well as being a showcase for Natalia’s wonderful paintings, the display will feature a short video about Natalia and her personal approach to creating her artwork.  In collaboration with Natalia and videographer Sophie Shaw, I have contributed an all-original soundtrack for this video, written to capture the energy and vitality of Natalia’s way of working, and her passion and vibrance as an artist.

    For access to the opening evening of the exhibition on 20th November, please see details here.

    The Final Leaves Of Winter

    I shall be playing the piano in a jazz quartet, in a new short film entitled “The Final Leaves Of Winter”, intended for BAFTA-recognised Film Festivals this year and next year.

    I shall be on-set all day this coming Tuesday (22nd January), so look out for more updates then.

  • I shall be playing piano with the Joe Ringer Band for this nostalgic concert series.

    Find yourself transported back to those cool, easy listening days of the 50s & 60s when you will be treated to the hits of Frank Sinatra, Burt Bacharach, Dusty Springfield, Bobby Darin, Aretha Franklin and many more of your favourite artists.

    Top vocalist Joe Ringer leads his 8-piece band through a selection of truly classic favourites to create a laid back, swinging night to remember.

    So, if you ‘Just Don’t Know What To Do With Yourself’, grab your ‘Wives & Lovers’ and enjoy ‘Music to Watch Girls by’, with matinée and evening shows on 17th November 2012, at The Fisher Theatre, Bungay, and another evening show at Dereham Memorial Hall on 22nd February 2013.

    Get tickets for the two performances at The Fisher Theatre on 17th November 2012 here. Tickets for the performance at Dereham Memorial Hall on 22nd February 2013 will be available soon.
