maybe its time I packed in the butchers shop, and got involved, peter

I have last nights recorded. I tend to flick through it, unless its intresting, then delete it, why? do you require it Peter

And I would like to take this opportunity to make know that on Sat 31st, Dr Simon Lindley, is playing at Durham Cathedral. This is an annual event that my father organises, to raise funds for his Masonic "Mark" Charity, and as such a number of "non" musicians are attending, a popular town hall style programe has been arranged.

Hi Barry, you can guess who made the recording, heard it at his house the other week, what a hoot. I imagine that Selby, along with HTH, will never get what they deserve now, unless they had packed houses every sunday, and a nice rich benefactor. Sadly those days, along with the hull fishing, have long since gone into the history books Peter

Do you think that if the refurbed organ is put in, they (the abbey) will live with it for a time , before the "hill" is restored, and might just be forgotten about? excuse my ignorance on church matters, but I have never had anything to do with them before. On a side note, my "best friend" was, for a short while, acting organist there, and having a set of keys, was showing a "famous" american organ/recording chap the organ, when the police arrived along with the vicar, they wanted to know what all the noise was (it was the organ playing) about,,,,,, it was about midnight. this is true as well, I heard the recording of the whole thing PETER

I was in the abbey a short time ago, ( its just a couple of miles up the road) and talking to Roger Tebutt the organist, was told it is basiclly falling apart, shame as well, as its one of the nicest we have around here. Peter

I just found this, and found it facinating, a child of only 10 playing the large Disney Hall organ. Peter

A friend just passed me these. Hope you find them ok. and those who would like a "state Trumpet" Peter

I might be wrong, but did Priory record this at St. Mary's, Woodford many years ago? Peter

I know many years ago my father used to go and sit with conrad Eden, now and again, and in more recent memory, with James Lancelot and Ian Shaw, at Durham Peter

it seems that the French organists in charge of "prestigious" organs are very forth coming and genorous. I had a similar experience a few years ago, E-Mailed Daniel Roth, and had a reply from Md Roth, to be waiting at the door to the loft at the west end. The question being, would that happen over here at say Westminster, st. Pauls, Liverpool or any other notable cathedral?? Peter

well you could really impress her, give her the "bit of plastic" and tell her and the kids that "betty's is just round the corner, and with a bit of luck they might have a que, so you would have longer to explore bank's Peter

the coffee shop is now no more, the space is now used for CD's, since the refit Peter

Tomorrow evening at York Minster Organ Recital by David Sanger (President of The Royal College of Organists). Including Mendelssohn's Prelude & fugue in C Minor and music by Bach, Saint-Saens, Vierne, Karg-Elert and Martin (Passacaille) be there or be square, as the ex's son used to say Peter

ok, I will put my hands up, I did not hear it all the way through, due to download problems, it is very fast tho, lol, that will teach me to listen first before posting anything. The "other half" did say at the weekend, that I have a habit of "opening mouth, before engaging the brain do'nt know what she meant peter

whilst restoring my first "Bach" Lp, (that I bought for my dad, but he never recieved it ) to CD, I was looking for a picture of the organ, but got side tracked, as you do, and came over Peter

so this is how rumours start, lol, what about the organ that is rumoured to have,,,,,,,, Peter

hi. you could always try here its helped me when I first went to Paris for a few "organ" days. Apart from that, all I can think of, is to see if any of the churches in the area you are visiting have web sites. good luck, and enjoy Peter

well most then, time for Priory to do the others justice, the only CD he made ( I think) is a great rendition of the 6 Trio Sonata's from St. Catherines college???? by the late Peter le Hurray i think Peter

I sent her "website" a question about these broadcasts, ages ago, and as you have said they will not be shown, which is a great pity. I also missed her show on BBC a while ago, Omnibus???? It looks like I will have to ask her next time I am in Durham to borrow her copies. Peter

I did not know mr Woodward personally, but it was his series of LP recordings, (now all reissued on CD?) And I am sure they were way ahead of there time, and still get played often. Those precious LP's are what got me interested in recording the organ. So my hat firmly comes of to the genious that was Michael Woodward. May he RIP

I know its early, but I would like to recomend these peter the 18th august

my partner is a housing warden at a sheltered housing complex a few miles from Ripon, and she was diagnosed with "swineflu" on monday. She has been told that she has to be back at work on sunday 2nd aug,. And that was from her superior at Harrogate District Council. I just told her to check with her doctor 1st, am I right? Peter

Its not a cathedral I know,,,, But Hull city hall has an acoustic 64' too

The Doctor's artistry and stamina are simply staggering. He is 92 in October! MKR You are certainly right there malcolm, 92, and still performing well. My friend who you kindly gave permission to record your Bridlington recital last year, has recorded FJ on many occasions, (and has some of his first ever recordings) and this years York Minster recital will certainly be done, now there's a "little bit" of history, put down on tape for years to come. And to think that some people have long since stopped playing in the public eye, years before, long may he continue to give us moments like this Peter ( who sadly missed the AP recital)
