Music

From 2020-2023, I studied music at the University of York. I played play bass trombone in the University Symphony Orchestra and sang in The 24 and University Choir. In the Isle of Man I play in the Rushen Silver Band. I was also a member of the National Youth Brass Band of Scotland.

With Rushen Silver Band in 2015 and 2017 I performed at the Interceltic Festival in Lorient, Brittany. In 2015 when the Isle of Man was one of the featured nations, this involved playing to over 80,000 people during the Grand Parade - watched by millions more on national French TV.

I haven't performed in a musical since February 2020, but would like to return to the stage one day when life allows! I've played the roles of Seymour in Little Shop of Horrors (pictured), Corey Junior in Back to the 80s, Roger in Grease, Chef Louis in The Little Mermaid and Grumbly the Dwarf in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (pantomime).

During the 2020 coronavirus lockdown I taught myself the guitar. I documented my progress on social media and via a podcast. Find out more.
