John says:

​

“Being able to make good use of my musical training and gifts, and to explore, conduct and sing a whole variety of church music, both hymns and anthems is both exciting and uplifting—not forgetting, of course my faithful, committed, long suffering singers and musicians who continue to put up with me whatever the challenge may be. It has been an enormous privilege for me to serve as the church Choirmaster over many years—what an amazing and inspiring way to glorify God! ”
