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.
