CONDUCTOR
Richard Nott is a choral conductor, having worked with many amateur choirs and choral societies in east London and Essex with his work as Director of Music at St Bede’s Roman Catholic Church in Chadwell Heath.
His wealth of experience with Catholic liturgy ranges from plainsong and Renaissance choral music to modern worship and special commissions for important church events. Richard is also very comfortable rehearsing choirs from churches of other denominations as well as non-church choirs.
Richard’s style is very much a relaxed one, making rehearsals fun and engaging, providing a comfortable learning environment for amateur singers. Richard is also experienced in 'depping' for Choir Leaders when they are unable to take a rehearsal but want the practise to go ahead. If you are interested in talking to Richard about 'depping', please make contact with him.
News
Hello everyone, and welcome to my latest update.
I can't believe that we're in November and that the countdown to the 'c' word has begun. The major stores have released their TV adverts, and I've had Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire going round my head on more than one occasion!
It's been quite quiet on the playing front in the last few weeks, and organist colleagues have said similar. Still, it's given me time to get other things done which tend to take a back seat with playing most days.
I have bought myself a post-mid-life-crisis sports car! It's a bright yellow 2003 Mercedes SLK. I bought it from Sam at SPR Autos in Stockport...check out their YouTube channel and you'll see some videos of the yellow peril as they work on it. Mechanically she's sorted, but there are some bits of rust, dents etc that I'll get done over the next 6-9 months ready for next Summer. I think a road trip will be in order.
That's about it for now, I think. Keep well and safe.
Best wishes,
Richard
