Lunchtime Recitalist - ROY WOODHAMS
Modified 10 December 2008

ROY WOODHAMS was born and brought up in East Kent where he has spent much of his working life. He was educated at the Dane Court Grammar School in Broadstairs, the Royal College of Music and the University of London Institute of Education. He first studied organ and piano with the late Harold Millsted, then at the RCM he studied organ with John Birch, Piano with the late John Russell and Theory of Music with Robert Ashfield. For a number of years he taught music at St. Augustine’s College, Westgate-On-Sea and at the Conyngham High School, Ramsgate. He was also Organist and Master of the Choristers at St. John’s Parish Church in Margate, and was at that time well known throughout South-east England as a recitalist, accompanist and choral conductor.

In 1993, after a period of study at Ripon College, Cuddesdon, Roy was Ordained to the Stipendiary Ministry of the Church of England. After seven years as Rector of the United Benefice of Cherbury with Gainfield and Area Dean of the Vale of the White Horse in West Oxfordshire, he was appointed Vicar of Fleet in Hampshire in 2004. Roy is also a Diocesan Organ Advisor for the Diocese of Oxford, and as time permits, he tries to continue his musical career as recitalist and accompanist.

Roy is married to Kate and they have two daughters: Bethany (aged 12) and Martha (aged 9). His other hobbies include: cooking, walking, steam railways and holidays in France.
