About Me



I write music and musicals, amongst other things. Last year my musical "Tomorrow Morning" was premiered at the New End Theatre in North London. We just had it in front of a US audience for the first time at Theatre Building Chicago, with a great cast and great director.
But most importantly - the "TOMORROW MORNING" cast album is available from www.dresscircle.co.uk and also has a bonus DVD with cast and creative team interviews and rehearsal and show footage. So what are you doing reading this??? Visit Dress Circle and get that darn CD, fool!

I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!

The show was featured in the Stages Festival of New Musicals at the Theatre Building Chicago in August.

On Sunday 13th May, "The Recurring Dream", (a song from Tomorrow Morning) was performed by Keith Anthony Higham of the Royal Academy of Music, at the Stephen Sondheim Society Prize, at the Venue, Leicester Square.

It was announced on the 4th February that the show got third place in Theatre Radio's Best Musical of 2006. The winner and second place shows were hit West End shows Avenue Q and Wicked. Tomorrow Morning was ahead of major West End shows Evita, Caroline or Change, Mack & Mabel, Sunday in the Park with George, Spamalot and Dirty Dancing! Congratulations to everyone involved in TM for this great acheivement, the first of many, no doubt! And a big thank you to everyone who voted for the show.

"The Lost Christmas" (Junior Version) will be presented at the Mick Jagger Centre, Dartford in October 2007.

...and finally, the original cast album of "Tomorrow Morning" (currently available from dresscircle.co.uk) is now available on iTunes, Napster, Rhapsody, URGE/MTV Music and more - in fact most of the major digital music retailers.

Updates and a severe lack of profundity

Often when I sit down to write this blog I am struck by two thoughts - the first being who am I writing it for? In a way, this very act is an act of vanity, an assumption that one's own thoughts and o...
