El seu Op. 1, Hymn to the Virgin i The White Island per a solista masculí, cor masculí i orquestra, li van valer un premi Carnegie el 1923. Va ser un entusiasta promotor del cant amateur i professional: el seu "Penguin Song Book" de 1951 sembla haver estat la primera partitura publicada per "Penguin Books" i dirigida a cantants amateurs.

He was director of the Kentucky Minstrels, a popular singing group on BBC radio during and immediately after the War. In 1946, he conducted the Wireless Chorus at a Henry Wood Promenade Concert in William Walton's Where Does the Uttered Music Go? He was appointed OBE in 1959. He married Lena Mason in 1926; they had one son. He died in 1961, at the age of 61. Most of his compositions were choral works, but he sometimes wrote for instrumental and orchestral forces. His Op. 1, Hymn to the Virgin and The White Island for male soloist, male choir and orchestra, earned him a Carnegie Prize in 1923. He was an enthusiastic promoter of both amateur and professional singing: his Penguin Song Book of 1951 appears to have been the first musical score published by Penguin Books, and was directed at amateur singers.
