Sadly, I have to agree with your comments about KB's Tonbridge Alain. For me, St. Chad's in Birmingham would have been ideal. I may now be an old greybeard, (but I have always loved, eg, the RFH organ) but just cannot get my head around Tonbridge. To me it seems that almost everything recorded could' ve been MUCH better served elsewhere. Rant over... 

Jack Oades, currently Tenor Lay Vicar at Exeter Cathedral but has help organist posts at Croydon Minster and Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin has been appointed Organist at St Giles Cathedral Edinburgh to succeed Michael Harris. He announced the appointment on his facebook page.    Thrilled to share that I’ve been appointed as Organist and Master of the Music at St Giles' Cathedral, Edinburgh, starting in January. I first visited the cathedral in 2010 (thanks to Fiona!) and when I saw the amazing Rieger organ, I decided I had to take up the instrument myself, and here we are! Thanks to Timothy, James, Tom & Dermot for their support with my application. This does mean that, sadly, I’ll be leaving Exeter Cathedral. I’ve had a wonderful time here with this brilliant choir, and I cannot recommend the Tenor Lay Vicar position highly enough - job description here: https://www.exeter-cathedral.org.uk/.../Tenor-Lay-Vicar... Share it with anyone who might be interested - the start date is flexible, and there’s loads of extra singing/conducting work in the area.  

In Bristol Cathedral the final hymn of the 10am Eucharist on Sunday 22nd September was no. 383 (Jesu, Lover Of My Soul) to Joseph Parry's tune "Aberystwyth". The voluntary at the end was by Stanford but the use of that hymn did make me think of the toccata on "Aberystwyth" by David Bednall (b. 1979, Choral Director of Clifton RC Cathedral, Bristol). For anybody who has never heard Bednall's toccata on "Aberystwyth" here it is played by Stephen Moore on the organ of Llandaff Cathedral. Dave

The electronic in the Gloucester broadcast sounds much better. I guess it might depend on what power the organist has and needs. The word "stop" is apt, in that you can choose not to use noises which are poor if you've got enough that isn't. If that Sep Makin wasn't loud enough without pulling nasty mixtures and possibly throwing it all through superoctave couplers then that might be it. If they could turn up a volume knob and play louder at 8,4 it might have come across better.
