A talented Somerset musician has been recognised for his commitment to music, charity, and community.

Anthony was presented with an award by the High Sheriff of Somerset, Janet Montgomery, on Tuesday, August 19.

The award was given at a meeting of the Rotary Club of Taunton at the Taunton Racecourse.

Anthony also performed Meditation from Thais by Massenet after the dinner, which was attended by the Mayor of Taunton, Cllr Martin Straus.

Rotary member Alan Reeve thanked Anthony for his performance, saying: "It's always so enjoyable to hear you play."

The High Sheriff called Anthony "a truly exceptional person" and presented him with the award for his "sustained and selfless commitment to music and to charity and to the community."

Anthony is continuing his Recital Tour of Somerset Churches this summer for UNICEF.
