Greg was brought up on a hop farm near Tunbridge Wells in Kent and was a chorister at Durham Cathedral. He studied music at Exeter University, becoming a choral scholar at Exeter Cathedral under Andrew Millington. After a two-year stint working at a publishing company in London, Greg won a place on the post graduate diploma course at the Royal Academy of Music, where he studied under David Lowe and Ryland Davies. Whilst at the RAM he reached the finals of both the London Handel Competition & London Bach Prize and was runner-up at the inaugural John Kerr Award for Early English Song. 

On the opera stage, Greg has performed chorus and various small roles with English Touring Opera, being the first to ever play the role of Badger in Tobias Picker’s Fantastic Mr Fox. He was also part of ETO’s award-winning education programme, presenting opera to special needs children. Greg has since performed with Opera a la Carte and more recently, with Nova Music, creating the role of ‘David’ in Charlotte Bray’s contemporary three person opera, ‘Entanglement’.

Greg is much in demand as a soloist on the oratorio platform. At Christmas and Easter Greg can be found somewhere in the UK performing Handel’s Messiah, Mozart’s Requiem, Bach’s passions (arias or evangelist), Britten’s St Nicolas and other seasonal favourites. He also regularly performs unusual repertoire such as Macmillan’s Gloria, McDowall’s Some corner of a foreign field, Monteverdi’s Vespers and Buxtehude’s Jesu Membra Nostri (see repertoire list for a full history).

Aside from his solo performances, Greg is a founder member of professional chamber choir Sonoro (www.sonoromusic.com) He also teaches singing at St Edmund’s school Canterbury and is very proud to conduct the wonderful Thanet Chamber Choir (www.thanetchamberchoir.com).

On a lighter note, Greg is a big fan of Elvis Presley and has been known to don a jumpsuit and sing a few numbers himself at parties or other social events. In his spare time, he is a keen golfer and cricketer still playing for the Broadstairs CC Sunday XI.
