I lead a busy musical life involving conducting (musicals, brass bands, orchestras, plus, from 1997 to 2005, opera productions) as well as playing and teaching mostly in the south of the county. I am a pianist and saxophonist, but also enjoy playing in brass bands.
My conducting career began in 1989 with Sweet Charity in Millom Palladium, followed by numerous productions there as well as in Workington, Whitehaven, Marport, Barrow and Penrith, noteably West Side Story, Jesus Christ Superstar, Buddy, Anything Goes and most recently Starlight Express.
I am sure Sister Act will be most successful and a very entertaining week.
Hey it's me again..seems like they can't get rid of me. I'm here once again as choreographer on this hugely challenging show. And what a challenge it's been... getting approx 28 ladies of varying ages to dance to this amazing 70s soundtrack has been fantastic and they've taken up the challenge with gusto..... And a few minor complaints. And then we throw the guys in!
So apart from that I also landed me a part this year.... and I'm proud to be performing the part of Sister Mary Robert and taking you on her huge emotional journey as she transforms from the mouse.... to the one who will stand up for what she believes in. The cast this year are working so hard. Harmonies.... pivots.... compared to the 3 numbers in Oliver this seemed like a mountain..... but oh my goodness they have surpassed my expectations and astounded me with their willingness to learn new things. Please support them and come and see the show....... It's gonna be FABULOUS BABY!
