In 1989, he moved to Oxford and was appointed organist at the University Church of St Mary the Virgin; thereafter he was a tutor at St Hugh's, St Hilda's and Oriel colleges.^[4] He arrived at King's College London in 1992 as Director of Chapel Choir and lecturer in Music and remained there until his death in October 2014.^[3] While at King's, he was credited in bringing to prominence the chapel choir. The choir regularly broadcast with BBC Radio 3 for evensong. Beyond college life, he was also director of music at St Bartholomew-the-Great, Smithfield and later Director of Music at St Mary's, Bourne Street, London.
