To celebrate the Quincentenary of Loughborough Grammar School, HM The Queen visited the School on June 28th 1996 in order to officially open the "The Queen's Building" [Theatre and Drama Studio + English Department classrooms]
She specifically asked to hear a performance of the anthem specially-commissioned for the Quincentenary from the internationally renowned composer Andrew Carter, and so - I suppose - I became ipso facto :
Try the 'Music' button!
"Organist by Appt. to Her Majesty the Queen" !
First "Gig"!
The first invited performance for the newly-formed [by Dr.Peter Underwood] Choir of Loughborough Grammar School - 25th March 1984.
I was asked to re‑construct and arrange the music for a set of four French 17th century comic 'playlets', not performed for 250 years.
The writing/arranging, which started on Jan 5th, had to be completed by the beginning of February 1986 for three performances in the university theatre scheduled for the 12th, 13th, and 14th ❤ - significant dates, given that the plays are about the folly of love and marriage!!
We were also invited to perform the plays at the prestigious Institut Français in London on June 18th, to an audience of cultured dignitaries.

Right from the initial performance of the Choir in 1984, I tried to make recordings of each event, so as to preserve for nostalgia and posterity all the hard work by us all.
At times, of course, this simply wasn't possible unfortunately.
This has built into a valuable, and much-valued, archive for me, for Peter Underwood, and for the Choristers over the years.
There are more recordings to be added.
All items listed are deliberately 'Warts and All' performances with just a couple of dedicated 'no-audience' run-throughs with the recorder running.
These are credited accordingly within the menus.
All recordings are now in .mp3 format.

On this occasion, Peter Underwood played the organ.
