Things I get up to now:

• I enjoy singing with Kingston Choral Society - a 100-strong choir giving four concerts a year in Kingston. KCS is conducted by Graham Ross, who took over from Robin Page in November 2008. Do come to our next concert if you like classical music!
• And in 2007 I started doing performances with the Royal Festival Hall group called Voicelab, run by Southbank. Voicelab is directed by Mary King, known for her TV appearances including coach and judge on Operatunity and Musicality.
• A huge highlight in Spring 2008 was to sing with Mercury-award-winners Elbow, as part of a 30-strong male choir known only as Geoff.
• I still do a bit of running. My glory days were back in 1998 doing the London Marathon. More recently I completed the 2009 Leatherhead Surrey Badger Half-Marathon.
• For professional reasons I'm a member of the British Computer Society and the Association for Project Management.
• Qualified in ITIL - Manager's Certificate in Service Management (Distinction), and in PRINCE2 - Project Management Practitioner.
• I work for SHL, a world-leader in the provision of psychometric tests and related services. I've previously worked for Prudential, Morgan Stanley, and BT.
• My main joy is of course my leading lady.

Things I've done in the past:

• I sang with Barts Choir - a 300+ strong choir giving three concerts a year in central London. This was under the baton of Ivor Setterfield, seen on television working with The Singing Estate and as coach to Goldie in Maestro.
• I used to do a fair bit of ballroom and latin dancing, particularly at the Imperial College Dance Club.
• I went to Pembroke College, Cambridge, and did further study at Birkbeck College, London.
• I sometimes go walking with some Cantab contemporaries on either the March March March. or the May Manea Mania.
• I translated the rules of French board game CROA! into English. Some ambiguities have been ironed out.
• I wrote a few book summaries in Haiku.
