Chris is a well respected and highly talented choral animateur.

Chris combines a musical background and drama training.
He has been General Editor of Sing for Pleasure publications, works regularly with a number of highly regarded choirs, and is a much sought after choral trainer and 'fixer' for choral groups of many styles, from chamber ensembles to quartets and Barbershop choruses. Alongside his passion for inspiring and improving choirs of all types, Chris trains new and experienced choral directors for Sing for Pleasure, the British Federation of Young Choirs, ABCD, and the British Association of Barbershop Singing.

Chris produces warm-ups and workshops for choral competitions and now, following the success of one of his choirs, Choros Amici who were Sainsbury's Choir of the Year, is a highly regarded choral adjudicator.

He is in great demand as a workshop leader and is renowned for the fun and energy he brings to courses (classical, barbershop, and gospel) in his role as a roving choral animateur.
