"His introduction was both interesting and fluently delivered. His programme comprised one Ireland, one Stanford, three Finzi and one Michael Head song. He started with John Ireland's lively and jolly setting of Thomas Hardy's Great Things. Then To The Soul, Walt Whitman set by Charles Stanford, Finzi's O Mistress Mine, and the brilliant Clock of the Years from Earth and Air and Rain. This latter was preceded by its spoken introduction as instructeed in the score - this was, again, well-spoken. A last Finzi song, Proud Songsters, and he rounded off his programme with Michael Head's sinister and dark Back to Hilo.
"All his singing was of a very high standard - the last song in particular, was brilliantly sung - he conjured up the darkness and mystery of the song excellently. Overall, he had a strong, lively, expressive voice, which was well-projected. Furthermore, the programme was well-chosen - it contained many different colours and contrasts, and it hung together very well."
