YouTube Channel
Having been assistant director of a children's choir, called Choirwood, in South Woodham Ferrers, Essex for four years, I decided in early 1996 to form my own. With my whole family on board , including my son Steve as co-director, we started rehearsing at one of the schools where I taught the guitar and within a few weeks we had nearly 100 members comprising children of all ages,
The brief was simple - great songs chosen from 50 years of pop music, fun and a sense of humour.
The choir was very successful. We performed at hundreds of live shows - including several with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. In 2001 we undertook a short tour of Germany where we were very well received.
We appeared on TV and radio and raised many thousands of pounds for charities.
In 2011 we decided that the choir had run its course and we played our last gig in the April of that year.
Over the 15 years that the choir was running we always had a live band featuring young musicians but when we recorded our albums my son Steve and I played all the instruments.
On this page you will be able to listen to our complete body of work which comprises several CDs and some videos.
This was a very important phase in my career and I look back on it with a very deep affection.
