Welcome to my web site! Let me tell you a little about myself.

• I was born and educated in England and have lived most of my life in London, where I am currently based.  For several years I worked in Harrods, the world's most exciting department store, and met many famous (and infamous) celebrities among its clientele.

• In 1992 my first book was published; Ferrier - A Career Recorded is a study of the recordings of Britain's best-loved contralto, Kathleen Ferrier.  Research into her singing has been a real inspiration and my talk Kathleen Ferrier - Her Life and Legacy reflects my unbounded enthusiasm for her glorious world of music.

• A second book, Glyndebourne Recorded, soon followed, written to celebrate sixty years of Glyndebourne Festival Opera in Sussex and the opening of the wonderful new theatre there.  My talk, also entitled Glyndebourne Recorded, is the story of the Festival's unique operatic achievement.

• Among the TV shows in which I have appeared,  BBC's MASTERMIND must be counted the most challenging ordeal! Hear about the fascinating background to a nerve-wracking appearance from one who actually took part.  Learn what it is like to encounter Magnus Magnusson face to face! Let me tell you about MASTERMIND - Secrets from the Black Chair.

• I spend much of my time as a Music Lecturer, Writer and Public Speaker, visiting lunch and dinner clubs, music societies and at college seminars throughout Britain.  Now I look forward to meeting music lovers overseas, travelling to other countries, lecturing on those subjects I enjoy so much.

Let me share these enthusiasms with you - I hope you find my topics interesting.  Please contact me by e-mail to request more information;  I look forward to hearing from you.
