I joined Christ Church in August 2023 from the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, where I was based in Stornoway and served as Episcopalian priest to the Isle from 2019. Before this I was Canon Residentiary and Precentor of York Minster from 2010, where I oversaw the Music Department and shared in the governance of the Minster. I read Music at Merton College, Oxford, and have written several books on Church Music, as well as acting as Secretary to the Liturgical Commission.
