Notes and Editorial Reviews

Debut CD recorded with the RLPO.Alfie was nominated for the Classical Brit Awards 2007 'Singer of the Year'. At the age of 17, Alfie started his working life in the TVR factory in Blackpool where he was well known to his colleagues for singing along to his beloved classical music. It was on one such occasion that he was overheard by a customer who was so impressed that he pointed Alfie in the direction of the D'Oyly Carte touring opera company auditions. The audition was successful and after a few tours, Alfie made the bold decision to move to London and embark upon his professional training at the Royal College of Music, the National Opera Studio and then the Royal Opera House Young Artists Programme.
