If you haven't been to this venue, you are missing something spectacular, never mind the organ!
(by the way the Grand Hall is used on the Barclays advert with the bouncy castle but has been recoloured blue instead of pink!)

WOW!  What an interesting and varied programme.  I just HAVE to get there somehow, despite the fact that I now live 150 miles away from AP.....this one is far too good to miss.  Thanks for posting!

Regards,

Richard

At the risk of going off-topic, there is an amusing related anecdote to tell.

H. Walford Davies to R. Vaughan Williams: "I wrote my Solemn Melody on my knees"
RVW to HWD: "And I wrote my Fourth Symphony sitting on my arse!".

;D

If you're not familiar with RVW4, you should get to know it. It's RVW at his very best - gritty, dark and intense, utterly relentless.

James Luxton is well worth going to hear, I do not know the other gentleman but I am sure he is well worth hearing as well.
