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 …

Seussical in Woking
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 …
Betty Blue Eyes, in Hornchurch
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.

‘Priscilla, Queen of the Desert’, London, 22/11 to 2/12
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 …
Gypsy, in Westcliff, 8th-11th November
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.

I’ll be doing some clarimanet and some saxomophone for two concerts, the first of which is ‘A Night at the Musicals’, taking place on Saturday 21st October in …
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, in Eastleigh
If you like blog posts that start with ‘If you like blog posts that start with […], you’ll love this’, you’ll love this! The title of this one has probably given you a clue to the fact that I’ll soon be travelling to Eastleigh, to play a selection of instruments for Southampton Musical Society’s production …
Oliver! In Aylesbury!
I’m going to have a splendid time next week because I will be playing flute and piccolo for Stage Experience’s performances of Oliver! (By the way, that exclamation mark is part of the title – it doesn’t necessarily mean I’m wildly enthusiastic.) In Aylesbury! (O.K., that one did stem from wild enthusiasm.) Here are all …
The Pirates of Enfield, and much more!
It’s been a little while since I’ve updated the world in general as to my activities, and in that time I’ve amassed a small collection of nerdy photos for you to enjoy! First, though, let me tell you about this week’s gig and why you should come and see it… The Pirates of Penzance Wednesday …
