Ladies and gentlemen, it is with great pleasure that I announce the premiere performance of the U.K.’s newest and quite possibly greatest ever musical ensemble: The Dunleavy & Dimplesauce Showtime Orchestra! Yayyyyyyyyy! The orchestra was formed in mid-2020 by the legendary (and also mythical) characters of Beatrice Dunleavy and Ericona Dimplesauce. Their mission was a …
Christmas has surely come early for you, most esteemed reader, for today I have not one, not three, but two lovely videos to share with you! The first is a festive medley for four bassoons, which I have put together as an exclusive video for the online Christmas carol service of St. Andrew’s Church. You …
People sometimes ask me, “So what do you do when you’re not making outrageously silly hour-long puppet show musicals?” Well believe it or not, I am actually a very serious musician who likes playing proper music and gazing off into the distance introspectively. And today I’d like to share with you a recent project in …
So here’s something I’ve been meaning to get around to for 3 years!

Happy Star Wars Day everybody! Assuming you read this on the same day that I am writing it, which I suppose in the grand scheme of things is unlikely. But I hope you appreciate the sentiment nonetheless. Dance of the Sugar Plum Clari To mark the occasion, I would like to share a brand …
Bonjour! Ça va? Aujourd’hui, je présente beaucoup de nouveau vidéos, qui j’ai fait les semaines récent. Good golly, French is hard. What I’m trying to say is, I’ve made some videos! And if I know you (which I do*) then I think you’ll enjoy them. 1) Bassoon Quartet Holberg Suite Here’s a project that …
Good morning Planet Earth, and welcome to a little blog post I like to call ‘103 Performances I’ve Done In The Past 2.5 Months’. For those of you who don’t know, I’ve noticed that the best way to make people read something online is by putting a number in the title, so today I’ve decided …
