When you find yourself in a freezing cold pool under a waterfall in Brazil, and your friends won’t let you get out unless you sing. Nessun Dorma it is then. #music #tenor #nessundorma #brasil #waterfall

West Green House season finished last night, and arrived down in Port Isaac this morning, for my first (official) Endellion Festival!

Coming to the end of my second, and final, season as Artistic Director of West Green House Opera.

Fascinating to have been this side of the industry, whilst also maintaining my singing.

Have got to know some wonderful people in this part of Hampshire!

The past is a foreign country…

Downloaded the ‘apps’, they destroyed my soul a little. Deleted the ‘apps’. Met someone in real life. Soul restored.
