This weekend, a year after being officially appointed Organist and Associate Director of Music at St Chad’s Cathedral Birmingham, (though I’ve been there much longer) it was an honour to again play for The Guild of St Stephen’s Mass during which the diocesean photographer took these and more photos.

Really looking forward to performing Marcel Dupré’s Deuxième Symphonie @stchadsbirm.bsky.social for the first time next month - it’s been a slow-cook 28-year project since I heard Thomas Trotter play it at @bmusicltd.bsky.social Birmingham Town Hall, and subsequently purchased the score in 1998!!
