Many thanks on behalf of all of Bill's family for the wonderful response to the news of his death. The warm, kind and funny memories as well as the admiration for his superb skills have all been much appreciated. Readers here might like to know that Nigel Ogden is presenting a special tribute edition of "The Organist Entertains" on Tuesday 27th June at 20.00 on BBC Radio 2, featuring recordings of Bill from across his career. We also have advance news of a concert performance of the Faure Requiem to be given in Lancing College, Sussex on May 12th 2007, and dedicated to his memory. This concert will be under the direction of Neil Jenkins, and Bill's son-in-law Stephen Varcoe will be the baritone soloist. More details on tickets available nearer the time.
