He has recently released a CD, recorded by audiophile label Base2 Music, including the Whitlock Sonata and works by Fela Sowande and Percy Grainger. A former finalist of the St Albans Improvisation competition, he now teaches improvisation at the Royal Academy of Music, and has improvised widely for silent films on both organ and piano, including a regular silent film series at the National Media Museum. He regularly plays with the Halle and BBC Philharmonic orchestras.
