Des is a composer/arranger/performer/songwriter.

Here you will find links to all his work, plus a DVD of the Dubious Brothers Live at Bush Hall.

There are 2 albums by theghostorchestra, one by The Black Flames, 4 albums by DES, and 3 under his alter-ego, Romano Chorizo, the much missed TV composer from the 60s/70s. He has made incidental music to dozens of short films too, and this may be collected onto another album soon. There is also a compilation of the piano-heavy instrumentals called, imaginatively, Piano.

All of the albums exist in CD form. There are still a couple of copies of theghostorchestra albums left on 12” vinyl though some will be available from June 2026 via Elastic Stage. The Dubious Brothers DVD is still available from the singer Monty’s site. There is also a 100-page fun novella that accompanies the Romano Chorizo albums - a little murder mystery. Each photo links to a track on Soundcloud. All are streaming on the usual services.
