@deanofnewport We had some normal sized knitted pumpkins last year, but this year a very talented individual (I wish I knew who) has gone all out with this one and many, many assorted veg as well!

Harvest scenes in the organ loft

Well I never!

@TheTransportHub Does PBO make a 5th now GC stop there: LNER, EMR, GA, GC, XC, TL, GN.

Quiz time! The most TOCs to call at a station is 7, there are four stations like this, what are they? You have until 20.00 #TTHQuiz (these are the TOCs)

I enjoyed our Advent Procession as always. Unfortunately the camera in the loft isn't such a fan and decided a view of the top of the console at 27x zoom would be more enjoyable...

Newest members of the music department settling in well

A busy but enjoyable last-minute weekend down the road from usual for a concert with @ElyChoralSoc and a few services. The highlight being a tour of the bumpiest roads on the fens courtesy of the rail replacement buses!

A slightly different end of the choir year for me: the last two weeks spent downstairs at the other end of the organ loft camera, superbly accompanied by @WSaunders_Music and @dansoper

@Clerkenwill @SeanFarrell67 @peterdyke49 @HFDCathedral This is extraordinary! I need to up my game

@SeanFarrell67 @peterdyke49 @HFDCathedral Any thoughts, @chrisstrangeorg?

Hereford Cathedral's organ loft decorated for tomorrow's #Christmas Sparkle #OrganRecital - 1.15 start; all welcome @HFDCathedral

Very strong Christmas decs game @pborocathedral organ loft! Oh and a massive clappy birthday to @CMacD82!! @GabrieliCandP #ROAR

@alan_baber @RJSYork @York_Minster @SGHLpool Relative to the size of building I think so. It's certainly not quiet (except from the console)!

Tonight marks the 6th anniversary of the first public outing of this tremendous noise:

@deanofnewport The tinsel may well be out in the loft already...!

Very nice to spend the weekend on a different Hill organ to normal, accompanying the Bluebird singers in Lichfield

What a brilliant afternoon with our Friends of Cathedral Music at Peterborough Cathedral! We're delighted to share some highlights from the first few events of the day... Huge thank you to our hosts for such a wonderful welcome and exciting programme of activity!

This one is on the hardest music written for the organ, so do give it a watch if you think it might appeal. Forward planning target for 2023 is to up my thumbnail game... youtu.be/ng4_-eGrAfM

RIP Dr Francis Jackson CBE, 2nd October 1917 - 10th January 2022. A wonderful and happy long life. Love and prayers for Alice, William and Edward and all the family.

Thrilled to be a part of the York & District Organists' Association pre-recorded concert in honour of Francis Jackson's 104th Birthday. Premieres tomorrow: youtube.com/watch?v=Ka89o7…
