A native of Welling, Kent, Bernard performed numerous concerts for the TOC from the age of 17.  Around this time and together with David Shepherd he played nightly intermissions at the Odeon Leicester Square, Compton. Originally trained as an engineer, during the 1970’s & 1980’s Bernard worked as a demonstrator for several large organ distributors including Technics and Baldwin and at this time he became heavily involved with non-professional theatre as a musical director with over 30 pantomimes and countless musical shows to his credit.

Bernard keeps his hand in playing both as a musical director and occasionally entertaining on Theatre organs.
