In 2001 he founded the remarkable Harmony Girls' Choir. The Choir - which grew rapidly to include the main choir, two training groups in different counties, and a chamber ensemble for older girls - made a priority of competitive singing and just six weeks after its first rehearsal was awarded the title "Choir of the Day" at the Sainsbury's "Choir of the Year" competition. Thereafter it embarked on a sadly short-lived but astonishingly successful career of regional and national competitions. All four groups competed in their own right; two of them never went to a competition without bringing home first prize; none ever came lower than third place. The main choir also toured in Europe and produced three commercial CDs, while one of the training groups featured five times on Anglia Television.
