Fitkin

Fitkin is made up of some of the UK's finest musicians, devoted to playing Graham Fitkin's genre-twisting music of astonishing rhythmic complexity and outrageous jauntiness. In the photo above, Graham performs portions of his lounge act, seemingly oblivious to the fact that it's actually a bass clarinet he's singing into. Upcoming concerts include gigs in Penzance, Nottingham, King's Place (London) and the Oxford Contemporary Music Festival.

Laughing Boy

Apartment House + Frank Gratkowski
Led by the indomitable Anton Lukoszevieze, Apartment House explores music by the great jazz innovator Anthony Braxton. Upcoming concerts include performances at "November Music" in Holland and the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival. One Dutch review dedscribed our concert as being "somewhat like a tea-party of mathematics teachers". If that doesn't pull in the punters, what will?!

Voice and guitar with soprano Juliet Fraser
Over the last couple of years, Juliet and I have played concerts exploring both the lute song repertoire as well as modern works by Walton, Britten and newly commissioned pieces.
Here is a general list of repertoire I have played over the years with various ensembles.
