In addition to composing, he has edited early music and has written numerous articles and reviews.

From 1991 to 1996 he was a Senior Lecturer at the Royal Northern College of Music (where he also directed Akanthos, the college’s contemporary-music ensemble). He has taught extramural classes at the University of Manchester. He was Musical Director of the Jubilate Choir of Stockport for two years and has conducted the Hepton Singers of Heptonstall. He gives pre-performance talks for Glyndebourne Festival and Touring Opera.
