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

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.
