We held a most successful fundraising day on Saturday 7th June 2008, which I was glad to be able to support by performing a series of well attended concerts on the organ during the day

The organ was in a wonderful frame of mind for the concerts. It was almost as though the beast had been awoken from slumber by being called on to fulfill its original function. Perhaps part of the problem is its lack of being played in theatre style regularly? Who knows? I have only received positive feedback so far with no criticisms, which is encouraging and is also good for my aging ego!

Many members of theatre organ clubs and groups were most helpful with coverage. We really appreciate that, and thank everyone concerned.

Representatives from Reading, Rye and Christchurch came along, so I hope there will be some positive feedback from them which will permeate throughout the organ world. My performance is not the issue: it is the organ itself which is what we am trying to promote.

On Sunday 13th July 2008 Pippa Quelch from BBC Radio Devon broadcast an interview with the Church Secretary and myself, plus of course the organ!
For anyone who missed the programme, a recording of the interview can be downloaded and saved HERE, but do use the FREE option otherwise you will have to pay!
