When asked to comment about his time with the Moy Singers, Mark replied, "During my time with the choir, we have performed a wide variety of repertoire in many different venues but one aspect of these concerts which has been particularly gratifying to me has been to witness the steadily increasing size of audiences at the performances. I know that I speak for everyone involved with the choir, when I say that this loyal support is greatly appreciated. Another highlight with the choir, was our recent concert tour of Rome. During this tour, I felt the choir reached a new level of performance giving me great personal satisfaction."

Regarding his future musical plans for the Moy Singers, Mark said,
"I am keen to ensure that every performance is better than its predecessor and that our concert programmes continue to explore both the familiar and less familiar parts of the choral repertoire. It will of course require a great deal of hard work from us all to achieve these goals. Despite this, I am sure that the enthusiasm and commitment that exists within the choir, combined with the excellent leadership demonstrated by the committee, will make these goals attainable and lead us to ever greater successes in the future."
