Here is the smallest pipe organ we have ever recorded! We found this lovely little chamber organ in Tideswell Parish Church (which hadn't been used for 15 years)! Jonathan recorded a little Prelude (what else?) by JS Bach on it - watch here:
Today is the 150th anniversary of the birth of Louis Vierne - composer and organist of Notre-Dame, Paris. A wonderful coincidence to receive signed copies of his first three symphonies this morning! Autographed during his 1925 UK tour!
WE HAVE FOUND A GRAND PIPE ORGAN!!! We will be bringing you a special Online Concert from this wonderful organ in October, including Jonathan's brand new arrangement of Beethoven's Eroica Symphony!
Jonathan had a wonderful time performing an organ concert for Bachfest at St Mary's Cathedral (Dome Church) Tallinn, Estonia. Thank you to all the audience who braved minus 15 degree temperatures and snow, and gave such a wonderful warm welcome!

Tom has spent some time painting today! Here is his watercolour of Jonathan playing the 1841 John Abbey pipe organ of Evreux Cathedral! We filmed this organ during our visit to Evreux and it will feature very soon in a special online concert from this wonderful place!
People contact us from all over the world about pipe organs which sit neglected or unused. To help people to have the confidence to play their local pipe organ we are creating a video/music book THE SOMETIME ORGANIST! Please let us know anything you would like us to include!
