Adrian started to play the violin when he discovered it was easier to carry around than a piano.
He studied the violin at the Royal College of Music with Leonard Hirsch as well as studying the viola, piano, chamber music, composition and belonging to an experimental music group formed by the composer John Lambert.
Adrian has taught the violin for many years and was leader of the Brighton Ensemble which performed regularly in the Brighton Festival.
Adrian joined the Charnwood Orchestra after marrying Veronica and moving up from Sussex.

Adrian has inherited an inquisitive nature for all things mechanical from his father and is never happier than when taking things apart to see how they work. It is always a bonus when they get put back together.
Hobbies include doing up old cars (will they ever go?) and industrial strength DIY.
