He loves cabaret: his duo Casson and The Brannick Academy has wowed audiences in New York and the UK. His compositions have featured on CDs, websites, documentaries and Children’s BBC, and his acting roles have covered moles, journalists, Bruce Willis impersonators and flying mathematicians. His book World Beats is published by A&C Black and he has two plays published by Lazy Bee. He also examines for the ABRSM.
