he read music) and director of the University Singers. He graduated in 2007 and subsequently worked as Master of the Choristers
at Bramdean School and director of Exeter University Brass Ensemble. Laurence has been the

a little child shall lead: Santiago's dream" with iconic saxophonist Raphael Ravenscroft and conducted the first
public performance at Exeter Cathedral in September 2009. As a countertenor Laurence spent
a year in the choir of Truro Cathedral and has sincec taken masterclasses with Emma Kirkby at Dartington Summer School in
2007, supported by the Heathcoat Trust. He is a Lay Vicar in Exeter Cathedral Choir and has performed a wide range of repertoire
across the South West as a soloist including works by Bach, Haydn, Vivaldi and Purcell including the duet 'Sound the Trumpet'
with James Bowman in 2007. He was almost certainly the first countertenor to sing at Exeter's Timepiece nightclub.
