Hello and welcome to my website. I am a composer of music for classical guitar. My music is tonal and highly melodic, and has its own unique style. It's difficult to assess your own music, but I often hear it described by others as peaceful, reflective, thoughtful and beautiful.
I came to writing classical guitar music after many years of writing songs. My guitar pieces are still, essentially, songs; just without the lyrics.
My great wish is that guitarists will find my music and play it. This comes with a warning: my pieces are deceptively simple to the listener, but players will find them a real challenge technically.
I have a growing collection of over 50 pieces published by Danish publisher Bergmann Edition. You will find links to the collection below. You'll also find a link to my YouTube channel, where there are videos of my own performances of the pieces and a few by some excellent concert players.
Happily, a growing number of players are discovering my music, and there is a fine album available recorded by Russian guitarist Aleksandr Loginov.
I live and work in the UK, in a small village in rural Warwickshire.
