Jamie is a postgraduate student at the Royal College of Music under the tutelage of Simon Roland-Jones and Andriy Viytovych. He is a former Principal Viola of both the Ulster Youth Orchestra and the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain and has had the pleasure of performing in the Konzerthaus in Berlin and the Carnegie Hall, New York, as a member of the European Union Youth Orchestra. Jamie has enjoyed masterclasses with Timothy Ridout, Lawrence Power, and Garth Knox. 

He has worked under a number of leading conductors, including Sir Mark Elder, John Wilson, Semyon Bychkov, and, most recently, Sir Simon Rattle and Sir Antonio Pappano as part of the String Experience Scheme with the London Symphony Orchestra. He has completed the Professional Experience Scheme with the Ulster Orchestra and has since been invited to undertake some professional deputy work. With the Camerata Ireland orchestra, under the direction of pianist Barry Douglas, Jamie enjoyed an extensive concert tour of China. 

An avid fan of chamber music, Jamie plays in the Regency String Quartet. They have performed in many venues throughout London and had the privilege of taking part in the Sir Elton John Global Exchange Programme in Hong Kong in 2023. The quartet participated in the International Musicians Seminar Prussia Cove, studying with Kim Kashkashian. They have been selected as Kirckman Concert Society Artists and are looking forward to some exciting concerts in 2025/26.
