Discography

My choral experience began as a treble in Birmingham Cathedral Choir, followed by membership of the City of Birmingham Choir, the Choir of Selwyn College Cambridge, and Brecon Cathedral Choir (not forgetting the close harmony group known as The Selwyn Swingers and Pentachord). Since 2002, I have been a member of the City of Birmingham Symphony Chorus (CBSO Chorus).

This page lists the commercial recordings on which I have appeared. For a full list of CBSO Chorus performances (including radio broadcasts), see the Chorus Archive maintained by Phil Rawle.
