THOMAS KEOGH studied the organ with Michael Overbury <strong>at</strong><br />
Worksop Priory, before further study <strong>at</strong> Birmingham Conserv<strong>at</strong>oire<br />
with James Parsons and Marcus Huxley. During this time he was<br />
Director of Music <strong>at</strong> St Augustine’s Church, Edgbaston. In 2013,<br />
<strong>Thomas</strong> directed the choir in the singing of the “St Augustine’s<br />
Service” by Herbert Howells, composed for the parish in the 1967 –<br />
only the second time since its composition th<strong>at</strong> the church choir has<br />
sung it.<br />
In 2015, <strong>Thomas</strong> left St Augustine’s to take up a similar position <strong>at</strong><br />
Holy Cross Priory in Leicester – a large city centre church in the care<br />
of the Dominican Order – where he directs the choir and<br />
accompanies the Mass and Offices.<br />
In 2018, <strong>Thomas</strong> co-founded, together with soprano K<strong>at</strong>harine<br />
Choonara, Village Voices. Village Voices is group of community choirs<br />
based in and around Loughborough for anyone who enjoys singing.<br />
They have quickly established a wide repertoire from Byrd and<br />
Palestrina to Faure and Rutter, and early folk songs to The Be<strong>at</strong>les!<br />
These groups sing regularly on their own and together all over<br />
Leicestershire to raise money for local charities. They are much in<br />
demand in the local area and are looking forward to their first<br />
weekend away together in the summer of 2020.<br />
