Two years later, he was approached by Nigel Turner to become the resident Wurlitzer organist at a new venture to be known as Turners Musical Merry-Go-Round; a position he held for 22 years until Turners closed in 2004.
Since then, he has played many concerts abroad, including Australia and New Zealand, as well as 31 consecutive annual visits to Florida to play the magnificent pipe Organ in the Kirk of Dunedin.
His recordings are regularly featured on BBC Radio 2’s ‘The Organist Entertains’ and he has made several television appearances.
