Whoops

Howdy,

I've been lurking for a while, and have posted a couple of threads, but I never introduced myself properly.

I'm a classical musican - a singer, in fact. Originally from Toronto, I moved to the UK just over 8 years ago. I was in Glasgow for two years studying at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama. Following that, I sang and lived in Windsor Castle for three years. (I sang at the Royal Wedding in 98 - I even appeared in Hello! magazine, in a picture of the happy couple leaving the Quire... truly the greatest moment of my life... not... :-) ) I left Windsor to become a member of the BBC Singers, a post from which I resigned this summer to pursue my solo career. (Fingers very, very much crossed!)

I did some martial arts when I was a teenager, which is when I started to appreciate a fine piece of steel. I have not trained in well over a decade, but am planning to start attending my local dojo soon (read this Saturday if I can drag myself out of bed!)

I have a wife (a fellow Canadian), and a dog (A Japanese Akita), of whom I am rather fond.

That's about it!

Good to have you. And where should we look out for your solo appearances??

Good to have you. And where should we look out for your solo appearances??

I'm doing a concert in Brighton on 3 December which will feature the first part of Handel's Messiah and a Bach Cantata. After that, I am taking part in two performances in the Spitalfields Festival on 18 December, and we then take the show 'on the road' for a few performances in Spain.

If you're really desperate, I can hook you up with some MP3s!

:)

Thanks for the greetings all!

Dan
