Back home after a fruitful week working for Jill Streater on multiple projects, and working with the Britten Sinfonia, with Jacob Collier and Chris Thile. What a wonderful 2 weeks of music making- I hope this energy continues! X
Back to the grind. Train hard, work hard, play hard, stay humble! Positive mindset going into new year!
It’s been a wild ride of a year. More than most!
One of the highlights of this year has been conducting a film score at AIR with the best musicians in the world, some of which I’ve known for a long time. More of this in the new year please! I wish you a happy new year. Here’s to a better 2025! ❤️
Feeling a bit sad after a wonderful weekend. Put lord of the rings on. Definitely less sad. X
Can I just say that after quite a bad year business wise, the last month has ended it on a high note. The last year has really tested me mentally and I’m appreciative to my mates who have kept me going! It has made me appreciate what I have.The last month has been genuinely great!
The pride of Britain on the train coming home from London. Headphones on, into my own space I go!
I’ll say it until I’m blue in the face. Central London during Christmas can jolly well sod off!
This tour starts on Wednesday! Grateful to have been asked to contribute an arrangement to the new show! Dates and venues on the Ibiza classics website!
It’s definitely a duvet day today. I’ve assumed the position, fire is gonna go on, with an old classic movie methinks!
“Say again” - I wasn’t listening
“Pardon?” - I didn’t hear you
“Eh?” - What are you on about?
“You what?” - What the hell are you on about?
“What did you just say?” - I might have to fight you
“I beg your pardon” - I might have to challenge you to a duel
I’m going to compose a piece called “Adulting” and it will comprise of 100 singers shouting phrases like “I LEFT THE OVEN ON”, “HAVE YOU BEEN TO THE NEW LIDL YET?” “HOUSE PRICES ARE UP AGAIN”, “I BOUGHT A NEW DRYING RACK THE OTHER DAY- LIFE CHANGING” ect ect ect. #composer #adulting
That moment when you have completed 3 deadlines for 3 different projects all at the same time. #intense #bedtime
Nice cuppa coffee before work!
Said Hamlet to Ophelia,
I'll draw a sketch of thee.
What kind of pencil shall I use?
2B or not 2B?

An absolute joker on Instagram was just rude to me, and then proceeded to ask me to listen to his music straight after…No thank you! Note to people reaching out to ask me to listen to music- please be polite and considerate. It makes it more likely that we’ll actually listen! Rant over haha!
Post film orchestrating project chill time. Got a few little things on for rest of year but nothing as big. Nothing in diary for new year yet but I’m sure something will come in!
Bessie!
Lovely snuggle with the queen of the house!
Wonderful work!
Deep in thought… somethings brewing!
