Gordon Pullin

Gordon Pullin first sang the songs of William Baines in York, accompanied by Francis Jackson, the Minster organist. They also performed some of them at Nun Appleton Hall, where the piano was one that Baines himself would have played.

Gordon Pullin has always specialised in English Song, making a number of CDs entitled ‘The English Tenor Repertoire’, and giving recitals on the BBC which included songs by Parry, Vaughan Williams, Finzi, Ireland, Bax and many others (including Francis Jackson), as well as many first performances.

Gordon sang two of the Baines songs included in the album ‘Pictures of Light’ in the play about the composer, ‘Goodnight to Flamborough’, which was broadcast on the BBC.
