In musical context his appearances range from playing Cousin Kevin in the Who's Rock Opera Tommy to narrating Tubby the Tuba with the Royal Philharmonic.
He has also appeared in Charity Shows on stages from the Albert Hall to the Palladium, via the Theatre Royal Stratford. Moreover, his voice is recognisable on a large number of commercials.
