Biography
I was the editor of Muso for three years. I now juggle a full-time subbing job on a charities magazine called Third Sector with freelancing for various publications including Muso, The Times, Metro, Time Out Guides, Music Teacher, etc.
I'm not a trained musician, although I have always been involved in music in my spare time - either playing the flute in various orchestras or singing in choirs and generally going to lots of concerts and stuff.
I currently sing with three choirs in London: the Joyful Company of Singers, Vasari Singers and the Holst Singers. I'm also returning to Manchester in the summer to take part in a recording of The Dream of Gerontius with the Hallé - can't wait!!
