David Drinkell Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Congratulations to Belfast on securing Matthew, and best wishes to Matthew as he takes up the post. Matthew's wife is a local girl, so he knows the place well - as a previous Organist & Master of the Choristers at St. Anne's, I have very fond memories of Belfast and Northern Ireland, and the rejuvenation and enthusiastic development of activities at the Cathedral (following a traumatic period under a previous Dean - the present one and his predecessor have worked wonders) makes me very happy.

It was not my intention to start any such debate. My point, however, is that both the advert and my message put the 'stepping down' in the past tense.

In connection with this I see from the September issue of the now monthly (not bi-monthly) Choir & Organ magazine that David Stevens (who will be succeeded at Belfast by Matthew Owens) is going the other way to be ADoM of Wells Cathedral.

Paul_H Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Just back from Ian Tracey's superb recital at Bridlington Priory. It was announced at the beginning of the performance that Michael Smith, organist and master of the choristers, is retiring at Christmas after 32 years in the post. A sad loss to the Priory but hopefully his soon-to-be-announced successor will carry on the fantastic work he's been doing. At least he/she will be inheriting a superb organ in very fine voice indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pwhodges Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 He had the (nearly new) Tickell organ at Keble revoiced by Ruffatti shortly after he arrived there. Oh, and alumni of Gonville and Caius (such as my son) often refer to it as "Caius" alone. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Cynan Jones Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 "I wasn't aware that DCJ was an alumni of Caius! I apologise to him." I'm not but a very good friend of mine is and during the time when he was up at Cambridge (during the time when they had an AATTBarB choir under the direction of Peter Tranchell) I visited about five or six times each year and became immersed in the jargon which has obviously stuck in my mind. So there is no need for an apology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
