James R W Fox
Musical Director
I became the Musical Director of LCO in January 2019. I enjoy light music, particularly, Eric Coates and Leroy Anderson.
Away from LCO, I work with choirs and in church music.
I have a passion for musical theatre and am the MD for the Starring Lincoln Theatre Company.
I am working on my PhD at the University of Lincoln, but when I am not doing all that, I am probably tinkering with my vintage Austin car!
Gretta Marshall
Leader
I joined the orchestra in September 2022, after finishing University with a Music Performance degree. I love playing various genres of music, especially film music.
My day to day job is a primary school teacher so it is my passion to inspire the youngest generation to play music!
I really enjoy leading the LCO and seeing how we grow as a group each year.
Tricia Tomlinson
Chairperson
Not having played for well over 30 years my husband bought me a trumpet. Despite being very rusty, a friend made me join the Lincoln Concert Orchestra and I was made to feel so welcome.
I have enjoyed immensely the camaraderie and encouragement of my fellow players- creating music together no matter our ability is so satisfying.
I enjoy listening to and playing all genres of music but particularly like playing film music -although brass players are happy to play any piece that has notes!
I now also play with two other orchestras but the LCO has a special place in my heart.
Angela Pavey
Treasurer
Hello I’m Angela and I’m the Treasurer for the Orchestra. I collect the (very reasonable) subs, pay the bills and keep the books.
I play the cello when I’m not doing that and lead our small but very friendly and forgiving section. I joined the orchestra about 15 years ago and have absolutely loved playing with everyone in rehearsals and concerts. My favourite music is pre-classical.
I used to be a vicar before I retired and now I enjoy my allotment and visiting my grandchildren...when I’m not practicing of course!!
Estelle Walden
Secretary
Hello my name is Estelle. I have a small role on the committee as secretary. I learnt to play violin at school and after discovering a viola in my parent's in law's loft, I have been teaching myself viola. The orchestra is a supportive environment if you want to 'dust off your instrument' or try something new!
Martin Kerridge
Membership Secretary
I learnt the clarinet at School, I was a member of the school orchestra/concert band. I played for a short time with LCO in the late 1960s before leaving both Lincoln and music behind.
30 years later, I took up the clarinet again and also started saxophone. I returned to Lincoln after taking early retirement and re-joined the orchestra.
I also play with various other local groups, most notably playing bass clarinet with the “Broadway Trio”, (clarinet, bass clarinet & piano).
Interests outside of music include all things motorcycling and building and flying model aircraft.
Mark Cantrill

I play the 'cello and joined Lincoln Concert Orchestra nearly 3 years ago. Alongside talented and friendly musicians, I enjoy performing a variety of music, in a variety of venues across Lincoln.
I enjoy playing folk music and classical music in other groups/orchestras and, when I'm not working, you'll find me enjoying my love of water either open water swimming or Stand-up Paddleboarding!
