Former Head Chorister, now a Lay Clerk at St Mary's Episcopal Cathedral, Edinburgh
Andrew had a profound influence on the direction my life has taken.
Whilst I was a chorister at St. Thomas’ Parish Church, Stourbridge,
Andrew instilled in me a love of all choral music and a desire to
perform it to the highest standard. As a youth in the choir, I benefited
from a perfect balance of discipline and enjoyment; developing
comprehensive musical proficiency but also essential life abilities
including leadership, communication and team work. I continued to work
weekly with Andrew as a singer until I was eighteen, when all I wanted
to do was sing! I have since been a choral scholar, progressing to
Lay Clerk, at St. Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral, Edinburgh, making several
recordings under the Delphian label, broadcasting on BBC Radio 3 and
Classic FM, and touring in the UK and US. Andrew brings a musicality and
sensitivity to choral performance that I have rarely experienced
anywhere else; his quest for brilliance in all things musical is
infectious and inspiring.
