A new commission for the Marian Consort which juxtaposes texts from the Latin Requiem rite with English poetry. Singers of The Marian Consort will be joined by amateur choirs in an exciting sound-world which draws on the music of the past: Premier at Merton Festival, Merton College Oxford in March and then performed as part of the Consort's 2015 concert programme.
New piece for Voice 'Patterns of Love' Tour
I’ve had the pleasure of writing a new piece for the vocal trio ‘Voice’ this year, as part of their next concert programme ‘Patterns of Love’ which they are touring through November and December and taking to the US next year. I was one of 5 composers to write for them alongside: Helen Chadwick, Marcus Davidson, Stevie Wishart and Ayanna Witter-Johnson.
'A Mix-Tape for Gus' Music Documentary
I’ve made a Radio Music Documentary for BBC Radio 4 which is broadcast 07.10.14 about the mix tapes my brother used to make for me.

Singing for the Pope at the Vatican!
I was excited to be able to sing again with Stevie Wishart as part of Sinfonye in October - as a continuation of the Decca recording project we did in the Summer. We met in Rome to perform as part of Mass at the Vatican with the Pope - possibly one of the most surreal gigs I've ever done!
