It was during this time that he became a fellow of the Royal College of Organists (FRCO).[2] At Cambridge he obtained his degree. His teachers included David Willcocks, George Guest and John Rutter.[2] In 1975 he was appointed assistant organist at Gloucester Cathedral, a role he combined with a teaching post at the cathedral school (King's School). He stayed at Gloucester till 1983, during which time he was centrally involved in various aspects of the Three Choirs Festival.[2] In 1983 he took over from Philip Moore as Director of Music at Guildford Cathedral.[2] He moved again in 1999, taking over from Lucian Nethsingha at Exeter.[2] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Exeter Cathedral 2014-2015 |page=23|volume=Vol. 7 Nbr. 9|date=2016| url=http://www.onceachorister.org/files/2016Newsletter300916web.pdf|publisher=The Federation of Old Cathedral Choristers' Associations (fcoca)|author=David Davies.
