He moved to Brighton in 1976, where he became involved rapidly in the musical life of Brighton and Hove. He was Director of Music at both St Christopher’s School and J. L Pearson’s magnificent All Saints Church, Hove for almost thirty years. Michael was ordained in 2011, and retired in 2024 after seven happy years as the Vicar and Rural Dean of Cuckfield, West Sussex. He is now the Honorary Assistant Priest at St Bartholomew’s in Brighton.

David was the Director of Music for Brighton Voices from 2022 to 2025. Before coming to Hove, he held positions in Guildford, Newcastle and Wells cathedrals. He was also the Organist and Master of the Choristers at Belfast Cathedral, and his choirs broadcast on BBC TV (including a performance on Songs of Praise), UTV, BBC Radio and Radio Ulster, sang in concerts with the Ulster Orchestra and RTÉ Concert Orchestra, performed on-stage with NI Opera, and recorded a CD of new music for Christmas. David gives organ recitals throughout the UK, and also works as an orchestral keyboard player; he has played organ, harpsichord and harmonium for concerts, broadcasts and recordings with the Ulster Orchestra. David was the Organ Scholar at Oriel College, Oxford, studying the organ with Kevin Bowyer and David Sanger, and then studied Choral Conducting at the Royal Academy of Music in London with Patrick Russill, from where he graduated with an MA with Distinction and the Irene Burcher Prize. In 2016 he was elected an Associate of the Royal Academy of Music for a ‘significant contribution to the music profession.’
David has now moved on to Brecon Cathedral, but maintains contact with us.
