He was an organ scholar of The Queen’s College, Oxford, under James Dalton and then became organist at the parish of St John and St Peter, Notting Hill. Subsequently he gained his FRCO diploma while studying with Catherine Ennis at St Lawrence Jewry. He won the Walford Davies organ prize at the Royal College of Music under Dr John Birch and he also studied harpsichord there with Robert Woolley. He then moved to Holland and became a student of Jacques van Oortmerssen studying historic organ performance practice with a Rotary Foundation scholarship.  He has given many recitals in London and the south-east including St Paul’s and Southwark Cathedrals, Reading Town Hall, St Matthew’s Westminster and St Mary’s Woburn.
