As well as being an experienced pianist and organist, I am also an accomplished French horn player.  My major studies at university were in Performance and I performed Mozart's 3rd horn concerto with the Queen's University Chamber Orchestra during the final year of my degree.

I was a member of the inaugural Ulster Youth Orchestra in 1994, continuing to play with UYO for the next six years.  I reached the Principal Horn chair in both UYO and the National Youth Orchestra of Ireland. 

I studied as a postgraduate at Trinity College of Music in London for two years, achieving a Postgraduate Advanced Diploma (with distinction) in French horn performance after a 45 minute recital from memory.

For sixteen years I was Principal Horn in the London International Orchestra.
