Music, always important, now plays a dominant part in my life. This includes:- directing an early music choir, Voces, now in its 30th year (www.voceschoral.org Facebook: Voces - Early Music Choir);
- singing alto in the professional Buckfast Abbey Choir, under Philip Arkwright (www.buckfast.org.uk/music Facebook: Music at Buckfast Abbey);
- singing bass in, and arranging music for, the acappella group Parting Gesture (Facebook: Parting Gesture);
- playing accordion in the blues trio Blue Monday (Facebook: MondayBlueMonday);
- playing accordion for the Cotswold Morris side Newton Bushel Morris (Facebook: Newton Bushel Morris), and occasionally for the Border Morris side Grimspound Border Morris (Facebook: Grimspound Border Morris);
- playing accordion in the Cider Bar Sessions (Facebook: The Cider Bar Sessions), a mixture of British and American traditional folk.
- playing (mostly to myself) French cafe music on the accordion.
