andrewm Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 The advert for the Bangor post doesn’t tell you much and there’s nothing on their website. Is it full/part time, salary, services per week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Cynan Jones Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 After thirty-three years of service to Lincoln Cathedral, the Organist Laureate, Colin Walsh, will be leaving his current role to pursue other musical interests. https://www.facebook.com/Lincoln.Cathedral/posts/4286406971390438 For those not on social media https://lincolncathedral.com/dr-colin-walsh-to-become-organist-emeritus-of-lincoln-cathedral/?fbclid=IwAR1nyoRvtfP7OkFdxEpiQqOPa4RCHK2THFIxPhBTpn2hdJh-jN4hFVLRmmc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowland Wateridge Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 An organist whose playing has you on the edge of your seat, especially in the music of the French school and large Bach works like the Dorian Toccata and Fugue; his performance of that was the most gripping that I have ever experienced. His service accompaniments are a model and the improvisations thrilling. The lucky people of Lincoln have enjoyed this for a third of a century! Clearly the Lincoln Father Willis has been an inspiration, the perfect combination of instrument and player. I have always felt privileged to hear his playing at Lincoln. I hope that will still be possible and I’m sure we all wish him well in his new venture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave I found this quotation easier to understand when taken in its full context. Below the main body of the advert are two sentences : "Applications are particularly encouraged from female, UKME and disabled candidates who are under-represented in the Cathedral and Chapter". followed by "Previous Cathedral experience is not essential".

Ah - you see Rowland, we don't just press a key and noise comes out - we had to, firstly, find the note on the string, get the finger in exactly the right place, nurture the note, warm it, decide what type of bow stroke to use! etc. I never play the 'cello nowadays and, frighteningly, was known amongst the local circle more as an organist than a 'cellist which, at something like ARCO standard, the tests were easy - it's the pieces that would fox me, I always found a little worrying!
