His solo roles include Don Ramiro in Cenerentola, Tamino in Magic Flute, and Lenski in Eugene Onegin.  He has performed in Opera gala evenings, notably on the magnificent ship the QE2 on her passage to New York.

He has appeared in chorus on soundtracks for the Lord of the Rings and Star Wars (2005 at Abbey Road).

His various opera and music companies include: Co-Opera (1992 Eugene Onegin), Bloomsbury Opera (1994 producing the Magic Flute in an open-air swimming pool), Klaster Studios sro in Prague (2009-2014) and Project Nepomuk (2017-19) in Liverpool and Nepomuk, Czech Republic.
