About Me

I'm a singer, saxophonist and occasional didgeridoo player. I currently sing with the Georgian folk choir Maspindzeli , award winning London Bulgarian Choir and seven piece vocal group Bulgakov, made up of members of the London Bulgarian Choir. To hear samples of these choirs, check out their websites.
The piece Waltz From Air is a composition of mine; here is a recording of its first performance, with Jonathan Stern in April 2007 at the Magpie's Nest in Islington.
Tsintsqaro is a multitrack recording I made (voices and didgeridoos) before I even knew it was a fragment of a Georgian folk song, hence the nonsense words. This is the song that introduced me to the wonderful world of Georgian folk music.
I have taken part in various free improvisation projects, one of which, For John Stevens , by The Gathering, is available on CD.
On 8/9 June 2007 I took part in the Singing River, with London Bulgarian Choir and Maspindzeli - a flavour of which can be seen below:
