Ben Collyer

@simonprobert Thank you very much, Simon! 😊

Many congratulations to @collyer_ben, who has been appointed Assistant Director of Music (and Sir George Thalben-Ball Organ Scholar) at St Michael's Cornhill from September 1st. A really super appointment.

@Clerkenwill @philclifton Ha! I have indeed! I remember similar reactions when I betrayed my kind and moved down south 😂

@philclifton Have you seen this, @collyer_ben ?

This. Is. Phenomenal. Corrie characters aghast at “London?”

Excited to be giving a recital at @RCMLondon this evening at 6pm. Music by Duruflé, Alain and Elgar! rcm.ac.uk/events/details…

@SamABristow Oh you poor thing! I remember doing that at Paul’s 😭❤️

If you know, you know. #prayforme

@simon_hogan @PottFrancis @joseph_denby Brilliant!!!

The first in a short series of videos from chch featuring some of the amazing organ music of @PottFrancis, masterminded and excellently captured by @joseph_denby. (Actually not the first - Ben Sheen released some even better videos before moving to Cambridge- check them out too!)

🎉 The final concert in a very busy season @TempleChurchLDN is underway and it’s a special one: we showcase these four organ students @RCMLondon in a beautiful programme including Judith Weir’s folk-inspired ‘The Wild Reeds’.

@LeahBroad Beer & Bean!!

Anyone Buxton-based - what are your recommendations for good coffee/good dinner pleeease?

Fantastic opening night of our new musical 'The Land of Might-Have-Been' at @BuxtonFestival. Massive congratulations and thanks to everyone involved, a sensational team. My mascara ran a few times too.

@LeahBroad Rain Dogs on BBC!

What do you think is the best *written* film/series available on Netflix, Britbox, BBC iPlayer or Amazon Prime right now? Just hit the end of my last series and am looking for something where the writing just blows you away

@jcolyermusic Agreed! Played evensong there a few months ago and took a lot of creativity to make it work…!

@collyer_ben Lovely stops - just a headache to make them do what you want them to sometimes!

Faure Requiem at St Peter's Streatham this morning - quite tricky to manage a 4 manual organ with no registration aids!

@laurencejohn97 @BenRConductor @StDavidsCath @StDavidsCChoir @CanonLeighRich @ChurchinWales Gosh i’ve never heard of this piece before despite being one of Leighton’s biggest fans! Thanks for the tip - looks fabulous ❤️

Really looking forward to playing the final movement of Leighton’s ‘Easter Sequence’ at our Ascension Day Eucharist tomorrow evening, with the multi-talented @BenRConductor on trumpet! Come along to @StDavidsCath at 7pm to hear it, along with Britten’s sparkling Missa Brevis.

Having an amazing time in and around Leipzig with @RCMLondon. Pictures are of stunning Merseburg. Amazing organ by Ladegast with beautiful surroundings ❤️

Great to be at Farm Street to hear the @nationalssp Westminster Schools Singing Programme Lent Showcase directed by Yvette Murphy. Some lovely singing 🎶

@tom_daggett @sheffcath @DioceseofSheff @dioceseoflondon Wonderful news, lovely Tom! How nice to live up north with £2.50 pints Xxx

I’m thrilled to share this news! I’m so looking forward to leading the music @sheffcath & across @DioceseofSheff I’ve been blessed to work with so many schools, families, churches & communities @dioceseoflondon in the past 12 years. Prayers appreciated for them & for Sheffield

Of course she's brilliant and working with her is the greatest blessing a scruffy music teacher like me could dream of. But Lucy is what happens when you make instrumental tuition available to disadvantaged children. Help us to get this message across to those who decide.

Moving and uplifting concert at Wigmore this evening. Amazing music - a programme entirely consisting of black composers. The Margaret Bonds, Jasmine Barnes and Shawn E Okpebholo were particularly jaw dropping. One of the highlights of my year so far. Get listening!!

@JimFellows1 Oh lordy I really do miss those cobbled streets 😢😍
