Gresford, Up From Underground
Here are the final two movements from Gresford, Up From Underground, a community opera I wrote with a libretto by Grahame Davies. It tells the story of the Gresford Mining Disaster. This is a live recording of a performance at the premiere of the opera at the North Wales International Music Festival in St Asaph Cathedral in September 2024.
Auburn Dusk
Latest recording of Auburn Dusk, a piece for string orchestra, harp and percussion. During 2022 I was selected to take part in the Composition Wales 2022 scheme with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and this is the recording of the orchestra performing Auburn Dusk in the BBC Hoddinott Hall.

Remembering Gresford
Video documenting the Remembering Gresford series of events I curated as part of my Co-Artistic Director role with NEW Sinfonia. Remembering Gresford was a collection of events that commemorated the 90th anniversary of the Gresford Mining Disaster, one of the worst coal mining disasters in UK. It brought together numerous community arts and cultural groups and featured the premiere of my Community Opera Gresford, Up From Underground.
