User:David Underdown

Currently living and working in south-west London, I'm originally from north-west England (with a Welsh father).

I've a strong interest in classical music, singing tenor in several choirs, and formerly playing the trombone. I started singing as a choir boy in Anglican church choirs, whilst not really being a practicing Anglican these days, I have strong family ties to the Church of England (and indeed the Church in Wales). One of the choirs I sing with serves primarily as a "Visiting choir", filling in for English Cathedral choirs when they are on holiday, and occasionally touring European cathedrals (and other large churches). As a result of this I've been editing various articles related to this topic, and I'm currently trying to straighten out the Morning Prayer article here.

Whilst a maths student at Imperial College, I started going to The Proms as a prommer in 1997, and that was the first article I edited in Wikipedia (as one of many people at IP 81.19.57.130 since I hadn't created an account then).

I've also been involved in field hockey, playing during my teens and early twenties and subsequently umpiring in Surrey. Other than than that I'm a change ringer and will read just about any book I can lay my hands on. Combining an interest in ringing and military history, I've been researching the men named on a First World War roll of honour, http://halfmuffled.wordpress.com

I also spent some years living in Peterborough, which explains the occasional edits I've made to articles about there.

Other than those areas of interest, I like browsing around using Random article, and occasionally make the odd copy-edit or comment on a talk-page if I spot something particularly glaring.

I am, so far as I know, unrelated to David Underdown.
