Welcome to my website. These pages offer news and information on my work as recording artist, teacher and (more recently) adjudicator. I am thankful to my dear friends Mark & Mary Fleeson on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne who do all the real work of editing and construction of this site. Please do also visit their website: http://www.lindisfarne-scriptorium.co.uk

For information on my recording and performance work please visit the various pages of information and my diary for future events. There are also helpful links to sites of musicians, artists and organisations that I have been privileged to work with over the years. Do take time out to explore these if you can. Thanks to My Space (& also isound) you can now listen to some of my music online. I do try to update these regularly so that you can listen to different music. So, do visit from time to time: http://www.myspace.com/davidfitzgeraldwoodwindreeds

BBCTV Songs Of Praise: It has been a real joy and a privilege to have recorded with many artists & choirs over the years for this programme. SOP has to be a national heritage now. Millions watch these weekly programmes every week, not only here in the UK but around the world. It was a particular honour to have been a part of the Remembrance Sunday programme last year. This was recorded in Rochester Cathedral and was broadcasted here in the UK on Sunday 11th November 2007). The programme was presented by Falklands veteran Simon Weston and also featured veterans from the Chatham division of HM Royal Marines. Being once a member of HM Royal Marines Band Service, this was a truly significant moment. For more on SOP do visit their excellent website (for endless info!): http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/programmes/songsofpraise/

For tuition work there are pages of information on my private teaching practice, work within schools and also adjudication - it was my 4th year (this year) at the International Musical Eisteddfod in Llangollen, North Wales. I am honoured to be a part of this most prestigious festival which attracts singers, musicians & dancers from all around the world. Do visit their website and learn more of this unique and wonderful event:

I do hope you will find this site useful. For musicians and pupils do visit the links (under the heading Useful Organisations). Here you will find music shops & organisations that I personally use and would recommend. You will also find a diary for the current term. God bless you this Michaelmas season. David
