Music
My first love is classical piano music - particularly Bach and Chopin who were the two composers I studied the most. My work as a hotel pianist however has broadened my repertoire and includes many jazz standards, love songs, pop ballads plus contemporary pianist music by Einaudi, Yiruma and Phamie Gow.
I have recorded some of my pieces which are on my YouTube channel my YouTube channel - including my own piano arrangement of The Red Balloon by Raymond Froggatt, who is my cousin (he was my father’s nephew).
I sang 2nd Soprano in the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra Chorus for ten years before I moved to Devon in 1994, and then I sang 2nd Soprano in The Torbay Singers for many years. I now sing 1st Tenor in West Devon Chorale.
For five years (2016-2021) I was the Organist at Churston Church, Devon. It was a very fulfilling experience working with the choristers and playing the very lovely little organ.
