Geoffrey Marshall

[AJJ]

Geoffrey Marshall, for many years organist at Rennes Cathedral in Brittany died at the end of last week. A former student of Roy Massey and Conrad Eden and Durham graduate he had worked in France since the late 1970s and was well known as a teacher and supporter of church music 'done properly'. I was lucky to spend time with him in Rennes last year when even then he was not at all well and will remember his hospitality to my family and me, his marvellous music on the choir organ in the cathedral and his patient assistance with research I was doing at the time.
