As its my birthday and I am off for the day, I may venture down!

Well, Simon Johnson definitely didn't let us down with his performance. A short concert including "Fantasmagorie" by Jehan Alain, which works very well on the Blackburn organ, very atmospheric

Here was the complete programme

Mendelssohn , Prelude & Fuge in C minor OP37, No1
JS Bach , Allein Gott in der Hoh sei Ehr
Jehan Alain, Fantasmagorie
Jean Langlais , Chant Heroique
Jehan Alain, Deux Danses a Agni Yavishta
Iain Farrington, pieces from Animal Parade

A great value concert!
