From songwriting to film scoring, from music for theatre to workshops for schools, I have nearly thirty years’ experience making music.
I’ve delivered Music for Media lectures at the University of Bradford and I’ve just finished writing the music for Aladdin and the Stolen Stories, a suite of online films, created by Wrongsemble Theatre Company for Bradford Literature Festival.
