You’ll never guess what I’m doing this week! Oh wait, maybe the title of this post was something of a spoiler… Never mind. If you happen to find yourself in the appropriate vicinity, do come along to see what I’m sure will be a marvellous production from Southend Operatic & Dramatic Society (abbreviate at your …
Another month, another musical… This time it’s the classic Guys and Dolls, which is being performed by York Light Opera Company over the coming fortnight. Come along to see some singers and some dancers and some actors, and to hear some musicians (including myself tootling away on clarinet and tenor saxomophone)! Guys and Dolls Wednesday …
I like to future-proof this blog, so here is a post for a day yet to come, when I assume somebody will have invented a time machine. Said time machine will enable them to go back and watch The Sundowners’ production of Seussical, which I have been playing for in Woking this week, on the …
Hi there music fans! Have you always wanted to visit Hornchurch but have never had a convenient excuse? Well here’s one for you now, because from 7th to 10th February Shenfield Operatic Society will be performing Betty Blue Eyes at the Queen’s Theatre.

After doing a couple of fairly serious musicals, it will be nice to relax a bit over the next fortnight and play something that doesn’t make any great claims to profundity (although it does stake several claims to profanity)! For I will be playing flute, clarinet, alto saxophone and tenor saxophone for Sedos’ production of …
This coming week sees me embarking on an epic adventure to Westcliff, to perform as part of Little Theatre Company’s production of ‘Gypsy’ at the Palace Theatre. Come along and let me entertain you by playing a lot of flute, a fair bit of alto saxomophone, more piccolo than is tasteful (i.e. any at all), …
The dark nights are drawing in, the leaves are falling off the trees, there’s a distinct chill in the air and The X Factor is in full flow. Pretty miserable, wouldn’t you agree? So to cheer you up, here are some videos that you’ll really enjoy, assuming you are a fan of the music of …
Well I’ll be waltzing my way to the wonderful world of Woking this week to play clarinet (and the odd little bit of flute) for Woking Amateur Operatic Society’s production of Carousel!
