Mark Bowyer, who is based in Dublin, was appointed as Coordinator in August 2011. He succeeds Peter Parshall, who held the post for several years.

Originally from Macclesfield in Cheshire, Mark has been involved in church music since the age of 11, as a singer, organist and choir director. Since moving to Ireland in 1999, he has maintained and developed his interest in church music alongside senior management positions at Christ Church and St Patrick’s Cathedrals in Dublin and at St Canice’s Cathedral in Kilkenny. Mark is an enthusiastic parish musician, having held posts both in the UK and in Ireland, most recently as Organist of the Killeshin Group of Parishes in Co Carlow.

Mark was awarded the Archbishops’ Certificate in Church Music by the Guild of Church Musicians in 2002. He has played an active role in the work of the RSCM’s Irish committees since 2007, firstly as Honorary Secretary and then as Honorary Treasurer to the Republic of Ireland committee.
