I was at TC from 1979-1987. I now live in Ross-on-Wye with my wife Lynn of 30 years and a small pack of dogs. My career has revolved around arts and culture with a successful track record as a commercial theatre producer, musician, and arts executive. I’ve staged professional UK tours of Dad’s Army, Inspector Morse and Shaun the Sheep (amongst others) and as a concert promoter have organised a number of classical gala concerts at the Royal Albert Hall in aid of SOS Children. I continue to be heavily involved in the arts as Executive Director of Arts in Rural Gloucestershire through which I run a youth theatre in the Forest of Dean, as well as organising more than 70 events every year in villages around the County. Since 2019 I’ve been a Town Councillor becoming Mayor of Ross on Wye in 2022. I was also successfully elected as a County Councillor last year and try to juggle these new commitments with my professional life with occasional success!BestEdmund O’Driscoll
